The following description comes from the event organizer.
Annie Bloom's welcomes local author Marat Grinberg for an in-store reading from his new book, The Soviet Jewish Bookshelf: Jewish Culture and Identity Between the Lines. In an environment where Judaism had been all but destroyed, and a public Jewish presence routinely delegitimized, reading uniquely provided many Soviet Jews with an entry to communal memory and identity.
