Birobidzhan vs. Palestine

1928-1936

New online series “History, Tradition, Culture”. The history of Russian-speaking Jewry reflected through cinema, literature, and art. Offered by Marina Aptekman.

You will learn how the media in the Soviet Union in the 30’s of the 20th century created the myth of the “flowing with milk and honey” the new promised land for Jews in Birobidzhan – an alternative to Palestine – and how it all twisted into reality.

Host – Vladimir Foygelman, President of Center Makor.
