In the 1970s, Frankel interviewed a number of individuals shortly after they had left the Soviet Union for Israel and the United States. Twenty-five years later, Frankel interviews them again. Their experiences illuminate the complex history of Soviet immigrants and symbolize the universal tale of anyone who has ever emigrated.
