Stalin and the Black Book of Soviet Jewry

January 29, 3:00-5:30 PM

尝辞肠补迟颈辞苍:听Kennan Institute, Woodrow Wilson Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC

In 1944, Soviet writers Ilya Ehrenburg and Vasily Grossman together with the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee prepared a 500-page book of testimonials about the mass murder and resistance of the Soviet Jews during the Holocaust. Shortly before publication, Stalin reversed his decision to publish the book, members of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee were executed, and silence descended upon the memory of the Holocaust. The Black Book would not be published in Russia until 2014. In this event, we will screen excerpts from Israeli filmmaker Boris Maftsir鈥檚 upcoming documentary exploring the fate of the Black Book and consider Stalin鈥檚 views and policies vis-脿-vis Soviet Jewry.

Speakers:

Boris Maftsir, Israeli documentary filmmaker

Zvi Gitelman, Professor Emeritus, Department of Political Science, University of Michigan

Joshua Rubenstein, Associate at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, Harvard University
