SUMMARY:Book Launch - Sasha Senderovich's "In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union"
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies in celebrating a new book edited and translated by SCJS faculty member Sasha Senderovich\, In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union. \nSenderovich will be joined by Stroum Center faculty and iSchool professor Ben Lee to discuss how these works\, and the act of translating them\, open new ways of thinking about Holocaust literature\, Soviet Jewish history\, and the long\, uneven afterlives of mass violence. Light refreshments will be provided before the talk and the book will be available for purchase from Elliott Bay Book Company. \nRegistration required: Register here. \nThe short fiction collected in In the Shadow of the Holocaust\, translated by Senderovich and Harriet Murav\, recovers a range of compelling voices that had been scarcely known or translated\, with particular emphasis on the work of women writers. Jewish authors from Ukraine\, Lithuania\, Russia\, and Belarus—some writing in Yiddish and others in Russian—tell stories of ordinary people living on after the massive devastation of the Holocaust on Soviet territory\, depicting memory\, conflict\, love\, and loss. Writers in this collection offer especially powerful perspectives on survival in the aftermath of genocide. These are not stories only about how people died\, but about how they continued to live and make meaning. \nSasha Senderovich is Associate Professor of Slavic\, Jewish\, and International Studies at the University of Washington in Seattle\, United States. With Harriet Murav\, he translated David Bergelson’s Judgment: A Novel (2017) and In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union (2026). He is the author of How the Soviet Jew Was Made (2022). He has also written cultural criticism for a number of outlets\, including Jewish Currents\, the Los Angeles Review of Books\, and the New Republic. \nThis event is co-sponsored by UW’s Center for European\, Russian\, and Eurasian Studies and Slavic Languages and Literatures.
