And the Winds Blew Coldis the story of Eva Stolar Meltz, a Russian-American Jewish woman who — in 1931, at the age of 21 — accompanied her family from Chicago to the USSR. Prepared to devote her life to helping build the ambitious ideal Soviet state, Eva experienced marriage, motherhood, and privilege during her early years in Moscow. Then for decades, she witnessed and endured betrayal, purges, war, relocation, imprisonment, and other personal, social, and political abuses. In 1972, Eva emigrated to Israel, and from 19706 until 1979 she lived in the United States with her childhood friend Rae Gunter Osgood while they collaborated in the preparations of this book. And the Winds Blew Cold chronicles a fascinating life that unfolded with tumultuous socal and political circumstances. From the perspective of an American Jewish woman emigrating to the USSR comes insight from the citizens' level on the communist movement in the Soviet Union under Stalin, Kruschev, and Brezhnew; the appeal of Soviet socialist ideals during the 1920s and 1930s; the betrayal of friends by friends during periods of heightened political and social oppression; the terrifying ordeal of late night visits and arrests by the secret police; the brutality of life in prisons and labor camps; the difficulty of living day-to-day in a controlled society; and the frustrations of trying to emigrate from the USSR. The aspirations, challenges, and tragedies that made up the life of Eva Stolar Meltz resonate across the full range of human emotions and stir mixed feelings of admiration, anger, and sadness upon realizing that Eva's story is but one among thousands, probably millions, of lives who were similary marked by the perturbations of Stalinism and their consequences.
