2000 Miles to Freedom

A Graphic Novel - Based on a True Story
By Carey Berg
2000 Miles to Freedom follows the harrowing journey of Hyman Robbins who fled the Ukraine in 1907 to escape the Russian draft & seek opportunity in America. But in 1920 he decided to return & rescue his family from the peril of the Russian Revolution. It’s a tale of survival, a journey across war-torn Europe & the ocean & bringing 80 people to safety through a combination of bravery & determination. Spanning 100 years, it’s a historical narrative of the immigrant experience & American life in the 20th Century. But it’s also a story of the dark side of the American Dream. Hyman’s brother-in-law, Sam 'Jumbo' Berg, lives a life of crime and serves as a stark contrast to Hyman’s altruism. It’s a struggle between two strong-willed, tough men who are two sides of the same coin. This gripping tale will resonate with readers who appreciate historical fiction, true crime & the complexities of the human spirit.
