Notes

Flight documents how Mennonites learned about the persecution and upheaval facing their families and communities in the Soviet Union during 1929–1930. Drawing on translations and summaries from the Mennonitische Rundschau, it describes the effects of Stalin’s Five-Year Plan, including collectivization, confiscation of crops, religious persecution, arrests, exile, and growing hardship. The book also recounts the desperate flight of thousands of Mennonites toward Moscow in late 1929, hoping to escape Soviet rule and reach Canada.
