The Novaya Gazeta publishing house published Leonid Nevzlin's book, Remaining in the Minority.
The author learned about what it means to be in the minority as a child.
“I'm seven years old. I study in the first grade of a Moscow school. At recess, the class teacher left the office, leaving a class magazine on her desk. The wind blew through the open window, the pages rustled, and the last one opened, where the last name, first name, patronymic, address of each student, as well as nationality were written.
I'm curious. I'm reading. In the column "Nationality" everywhere - "Russian", "Russian", "Russian", and suddenly opposite "Nevzlin Leonid" is written: "Jew". And then again - "Russian", "Russian", "Russian".
It seemed to pierce me: I'm not like everyone else! I am alone - not Russian. One is Jewish. I'm not just different, I'm in the minority. So there is something wrong with me. Being in the minority is bad.
For many years I have lived with a sense of my otherness, that I am different from the majority. And who the Jews are, what the Jewish people are, what it means to be a Jew - I rarely thought about this.
A boy who found the word “Jew” next to his last name will become a big businessman and philanthropist 40 years later. He will know everything about his surname and his family, starting from the seventh generation. He will know the history of this people, reconstruct Jewish museums, create research centers around the world for the study of Eastern European Jewry, help those who carefully record and preserve the memory of the victims of the Holocaust and Stalinism.
“Remaining in the minority” is a book about finding yourself, your roots, your purpose in life. This is no ordinary autobiography. And definitely not a confession with summing up. This is the story of a man who has come a long way of inner evolution.
