Balancing Acts: A Jewish Theatre in The Soviet Union

2008  / 0 hr 15 min

Moscow, January 1948. In the bitter cold, a large crowd attends the State Funeral of the Yiddish actor and director Solomon Mikhoels. An official proclamation mourns the death of "a great People's Artist of the Soviet Union."

No doubt many suspected the truth: he had just been assassinated by Stalin's secret police.
