Heavy Sand
The German occupation breaks up a harmonious community of Russian Jews, Ukrainians, Poles, and Belorussians and turns it into a ghetto that almost none survive
The Bronze Bird
Sequel to Kortik, originally published in the magazine Ionust' (Youth); it appeared in book form in 1957. The idea for the work came from a marble inkstand decorated with a bronze bird that stood on Rybakov's desk. The stand broke when he was moving to a new residence, and he saw that the bird was hollow. The thought occurred to him that the bird would be a good hiding place. In this work, Misha Poliakov has become a Youth Pioneer leader.

Youth in Revolutionary Russia
What were the consequences if prerevolutionary and "bourgeois" culture and social relations could not be transformed into new socialist forms of behavior and belief?".
Growing in the Shadow of Antifascism
Reined into the service of the Cold War confrontation, antifascist ideology overshadowed the narrative about the Holocaust in the communist states of Eastern Europe. This led to the Western notion that in the Soviet Bloc there was a systematic suppression of the memory of the mass murder of European Jews. Going beyond disputing the mistaken opposition between “communist falsification” of history and the “repressed authentic” interpretation of the Jewish catastrophe, this work presents and analyzes the ways as the Holocaust was conceptualized in the Soviet-ruled parts of Europe. The authors provide various interpretations of the relationship between antifascism and Holocaust memory in...
