Elissa Bemporad on book Legacy of Blood (from 2020)

This week we listen back to our March 2020 interview with
Elissa Bemporad, author of the book Legacy of
Blood: Jews, Pogroms, and Ritual Murder in the Lands of the
Soviets (Oxford University Press, 2019), interviewed by
Sholem Beinfeld. Today we're re-airing the
entire interview. It was originally aired in two parts in amid
the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, and may have gotten a bit
lost in the shuffle. But in case you missed it or just want to
relisten, it's still as interesting and relevant today, if not
more so, considering today's war between Russia and Ukraine in
the news.


Air date: June 29, 2022
