Soviet Jews in World War II: fighting, witnessing, remembering.

This volume discusses the participation of Jews as soldiers, journalists and propagandists in combating the Nazis. The essays included here examine both newly-discovered and previously-neglected oral testimony, poetry, cinema, diaries, memoirs, newspapers, and archives. This is one of the first books to combine the study of Russian and Yiddish materials, reflecting the nature of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, which, for the first time during the Soviet period, included both Yiddish-language and Russian-language writers.
