thinking about how there used to be “no dogs or jews allowed” signs in american restaurants 😻

soviet chapter is a must for everyone. being raised by soviet jews, i realize so much of their own history is lost on them, and even to the world. you’re telling me the soviet union promised jews safety in yiddish centers, only to persecute them, when they were the intelligentsia that brought russia its culture? i think even just this chapter is necessary to read to understand jewish identity

today i learned there were jews in rhode island that george washington wrote to, and i’m wondering- why wasn’t this ever mentioned in my public school education? soviet jew chapter is hard as someone who was raised by soviet jews 😀
