Jews of the Soviet Union in the post-war years (1945-1948) - in Russian by historian Yigal Kotler

Historian Yigal Kotler will focus on the history of Russian Jews in the early post-war years. We will talk about the incredible story of a group of Jews from Lithuania, who decided to take revenge and destroy 6 million Germans; we will talk about the hopes of returning Jews and the terrible truth they faced, about the growth of anti-Semitism at the state level and the sad fate of the "Black Book" of the Holocaust victims. We will also discuss the attempts to revive Judaism and how the Soviet Jews reacted to the news of the creation of the State of Israel.
