Esther Rosenthal-Schneiderman archive. Russian-language section
Esther Rosenthal-Schneiderman was directly involved in the creation of the Jewish Autonomous region. The most famous historians in the world have repeatedly turned to her memoirs to hear the story of a witness to the events that began with the expedition of B. L. Brook to the Biro-Bidzhan region and before the repressions of 1937-1938. Her works, published in Israel in Yiddish and Hebrew, are little known to the Russian-speaking reader. The documents and articles, found in the personal archive, translated into Russian, provide an additional opportunity to learn about the Birobidzhan project, which became part of the Russian Jews history.
