Description
Zuskin Perelman’s fascinating chronicle, more than just a personal memoir,
conveys the vibrancy and energy of Jewish theater, celebrates the cultural
achievements of Soviet Jews, and calls attention to the tragic fate that awaited
them. The Travels of Benjamin Zuskin sheds light on Soviet Jewish history through
the lens of one of the period’s most influential cultural icons.

Advance Praise
"A story, an essay, an epic, a tragedy, a comedy, and a history told with
delicate sensitivity and literary wisdom. This is a gift to the generations
to come."—Antonio Attisani, University of Torino, Italy
"The author has succeeded in finding the ideal balance between the meticulous attention to detail of the scholar and the poignant sensitivity of the daughter. . . . Today the subject of the Yiddish theater has become popular in academic studies. . . . without this book, no study of the subject can make headway."—Gennady Estraikh, Skirball Department of Judaic and Hebrew Studies, New York University
