The short fiction collected in In the Shadow of the Holocaust recovers a range of compelling voices that had been scarcely known or translated. Jewish authors from Ukraine, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus, some writing in Yiddish and others in Russian, tell the stories of ordinary people living on after the massive devastation of the Holocaust on Soviet territory, depicting memories, conflicts, love, and loss. These are not stories only about how people died, but how they continued to live.

Join author Sasha Senderovich for a talk about the authors, their translations, and how together they paint a complex picture of Soviet Jewish lives during and, just as importantly, in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Senderovich will be available for questions and a book signing following the talk.
