Oh, that's fascinating, Helene! I didn't know anything about this Birobidzhan experiment. We have a wonderful community of Russians here in San Francisco, exiles, as I understand it from the east following the Bolshevik Revolution.
I am learning SO much from reading your newsletter, thanks! My own research centers primarily on West Prussia, and the US, but I'm fascinated by the family and social history of Eastern Europe, and your generosity in sharing what you know and have learned is greatly appreciated.
