Reading List from Marci Shore
David Fishman at the JTS just translated this interview with an Israeli soldier fighting in Ukraine. (David is the one who translated the interview with Natan Khazin in 2014 as well.)
A letter from Natasha Hirschhorn, the cantor at my aunt's synagogue on the Upper West Side, who is from Kyiv.
Glenn Dynner's lecture on Jews in Ukrainian history.
Katja Petrowskaja's mother's appeal to Russians. (If you haven't read Katja's book, Maybe Esther, here is the review I wrote of it in the NYRB--it's a beautiful book.)
Vladyslava Moskalets's project on mapping Jewish Lviv, online interactive version. I met Lada first in Yaroslav Hrytsak's Reading Tony Judt seminar nine years ago. Here is a New Yorker piece I wrote about that, too.
Olga Shparaga, “A Feminist Framework for Understanding the Role of Women in the Belarusian Revolution: Domestic Violence, Care, and Sisterhood.”
Interview with Belarusian feminist activist Julia Mickiewicz, following her time in prison.
"Nadezhda, or Hope" by Andrei Krasniashchikh, on a child's experience in war.
The most personal, and perhaps highly gendered, text I've written about this gruesome war.
A beautiful reflection on a way forward for a Ukrainian living in Lviv on how to reconcile her country's and city's complicated past with her dreams for their future.
