“Klara’s Journey,
A Novel,”: betrayal, high drama, love!
By Ben G. Frank
CHAPTER I, ODESSA, 1917.
“The hell with the Czar.”
“Who said that?”
“I did.”
“Get your books and
get out.”
“The hell with you,
too!” she yells back at the shocked teacher. The stunned class cringes as they
watch the tall, thin teenager dart from her desk and exit the Russian-history
class in School No.1 on Nikolaevsky Boulevard overlooking
the Black Sea port of Odessa.
“What a mouth on
that Jew girl. Off to Siberia with her, like all the other Bolshevik
kikes," sneers instructor Igor Devushkin.
“Now class, as we
were discussing before we were so rudely interrupted, on page 38, as the Czar
said: ‘Where the Russian flag is planted, there it remains forever.’”
