We Are Jews Again: Jewish Activism in the Soviet Union (Modern Jewish History)

Kosharovsky’s authoritative four-volume history of the Jewish movement in the Soviet Union is now available in a condensed and edited volume that makes this compelling insider’s account of Soviet Jewish activism after Stalin available to a wider audience. Originally published in Russian from 2008 to 2012, <i>“We Are Jews Again”</i> chronicles the struggles of Jews who wanted nothing more than the freedom to learn Hebrew, the ability to provide a Jewish education for their children, and the right to immigrate to Israel. Through dozens of interviews with former refuseniks and famous activists, Kosharovsky provides a vivid and intimate view of the Jewish movement and a detailed account of the persecution many faced from Soviet authorities.

<b>Yuli Kosharovsky</b> (1941–2014) was born in the Ural region of central Russia. He was an active leader of the Jewish refusenik movement. <b>Ann Komaromi</b> is associate professor of comparative literature at the University of Toronto. <b>Stefani Hoffman</b> is working as a freelance academic researcher, editor, and translator after her retirement from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
