Shrayer introduces the work of Ilya Selvinsky, the first Jewish-Russian poet to depict the Holocaust (Shoah) in the occupied Soviet territories. In January 1942, while serving as a military journalist, Selvinsky witnessed the immediate aftermath of the massacre of thousands of Jews outside the Crimean city of Kerch, and thereafter composed and published poems about it. Shrayer painstakingly reconstructs the details of the Nazi atrocities witnessed by Selvinsky, and shows that in 1943, as Stalin's regime increasingly refused to report the annihilation of Jews in the occupied territories, Selvinsky paid a high price for his writings and actions. This book features over 60 rare photographs and illustrations and includes translations of Selvinsky's principal Shoah poems. 410 0$aStudies in Russian and Slavic Literatures, Cultures, and History 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 606 $aSel?vinskiĭ, Il??i?a L?vovich, -- 1899-1968 606 $aPoets, Russian$y20th century$zSoviet Union$vBiography 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945)$vPoetry 606 $aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 606 $aLanguages & Literatures$2HILCC 606 $aSlavic, Baltic and Albanian Languages & Literatures$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books. 615 4$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945). 615 4$aSel?vinskiĭ, Il??i?a L?vovich, -- 1899-1968. 615 0$aPoets, Russian 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 0$aHolocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) 615 7$aLanguages & Literatures 615 7$aSlavic, Baltic and Albanian Languages & Literatures 676 $a940.5318 686 $aKK 7195$2rvk 700 $aShrayer$b Maxim D., $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut.$0766897 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465632703321 996 $aI Saw It$92454310 997 $aUNINA
