Description | Exactly half a century after its exile, JDC once again set foot on Soviet soil amid the prevailing atmosphere of glasnost. Though a devoted thread had risked everything to sustain a thread of Jewish life, the final collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 revealed a Jewish cultural wasteland imprinted by 70 years of repression. Alphabet cards such as these were used in education programs designed to help revitalize Jewish life and learning for a new generation. | |||
