by Miriam Hasan through Rev. Dr. James K. Powell II, opensourcebuddhism.org This touching and poignant, empathetic work depicts the history of anti-semitism in Russia. We hear of the pogroms, the calculated plans to eliminate Jews, and just when the Bolshevik revolution portended change, it turned again dark for Jews. The Soviet Jewish homeland was more of a concentration camp than utopia. It was a way to collocate Jews in one spot, far from the capitol in Moscow and thus lessen their influence. The homeland still exists, though depopulated. There is irony in the artist being Palestinian, in this sense, an empathetic work, for she lost her home as well - to the very Jews seeking escape from their own nightmare.
