Masha: Ester and Ruzya: How My Grandmothers Survived Hitler's War and
Stalin's Peace, New York 2004.
Synopsis:
During the War, Masha lived with her mother in the Siberian town of Biysk,
where several thousand Bialystokers were deported. She writes of life there --
a relatively unknown chapter in Bialystok Jewish history. Masha's father,
Jakub GOLDBERG, was in the Bialystok Ghetto and a member of the Judenrat. She
writes about her grandfather's controversial role. The second part of her book
deals with both her grandmothers' lives in the post-war Soviet Union. -- Judy

Pu’ah (1865-1955): My Life as a Radical
Jewish Women: Memoirs of a Zionist feminist in Poland, Indiana University

Synopsis:
Puah was born in Bialystok in 1865 into a very distinguished rabbinical
family. The book tells of the horrific way in which women were treated and
married off against their will at a young age. It also tells about the
political movements, especially Zionism that were gaining hold in the late
1890s. I highly recommend the book! --- Fay Bussgang
