When Sonia Met Boris - Anna (Al and Malka Green Professor in Yiddish Language and Literature and the Director of the Anne Tanenbaum Centre for Jewish Studies Shternshis - Bog

When Sonia Met Boris, an innovative study of Jewish daily life in the Soviet Union based on nearly 500 oral history interviews, gives a long-suppressed voice to the men and women who survived the sustained violence and everyday hardship of Stalin's Russia. It reveals how postwar Soviet Jews came to view their Jewish identity as an obstacle-a shift in attitude with ramifications for contemporary Russian Jewish culture and the broader Jewish
diaspora.
