SASHA SENDEROVICH/ In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union
Edited/Translated by Sasha Senderovich & Harriet Murav
In conversation with FAITH JONES

A first-of-its kind collection of short stories that provides an underappreciated perspective on the Holocaust, as it was experienced and remembered in the former Soviet Union. In these works, Jewish authors from Ukraine, Lithuania, Russia, and Belarus, writing in Yiddish and Russian, tell the stories of ordinary people living on after the devastation of the Holocaust. Filled with memories, love, and loss, these narratives describe not only how people died, but also how they continued to live.

SASHA SENDEROVICH is Associate Professor of Slavic Languages & Literatures at the University of
Washington. With Harriet Murav, he translated David Bergelson's Judgment: A Novel. He is the author
of How the Soviet Jew Was Made.

FAITH JONES is a Vancouver librarian, translator and researcher.
