An Improbable Life recounts Rashkovsky's father's childhood as a Jew in the post-World War II Soviet Union facing totalitarian oppression, deep poverty, petty harassment, discrimination, service in the Red Army during the Six-Day War in 1967, and his extraordinary escape to Israel in 1972. With the return of a totalitarian, imperialist Russia and the disturbing rise in antisemitism, Rashkovsky's story is all too relevant to today's struggles. Here is an impossible true story of what can be, indeed, possible.
