Description
Shrayer introduces the work of Ilya Selvinsky, the first Jewish-Russian poet to depict the Holocaust. In January 1942, while serving as a military journalist, Selvinsky witnessed the immediate aftermath of the massacre of thousands of Jews outside the Crimean city of Kerch, and thereafter composed and published poems about it.
