A single teacup becomes the axis of a family’s tangled history. The Jews of Kyiv make a pilgrimage to a massacre site on its anniversary. These are among the stories in In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union, written in the immediate aftermath by authors from Belarus, Lithuania, Russia and Ukraine. Sasha Senderovich, who edited and translated the collection with Harriet Murav, comes to London to explore these stark, unforgettable narratives of love, loss, trauma and memory with Jewish Renaissance executive director Aviva Dautch.
