"In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union" by Sasha Senderovich (Editor), Harriet Murav (Editor).

Book description: This is a collection of short stories that provides an under-appreciated perspective on the Holocaust, as it was experienced and remembered in the former Soviet Union.   A death camp survivor asks a local woman to write down in Russian his story, which he conveys in Yiddish. The Jewish population of Kyiv makes a pilgrimage to the site of a massacre on its anniversary. A single teacup becomes the focal point of a Jewish family's complex history. These are three of the stories featured.
