Blavatnik Archive Foundation

The Foundation preserves and disseminates materials that contribute to the study of 20th century jewish and world history, with a special emphasis on world war i, world war ii, and soviet russia.

The book, titled "lives of the great patriotic war: the untold stories of soviet jewish soldiers in the red army during wwii" is a periodical series highlighting the personalized experiences of soviet jewish soldiers during wwii. Combining incredible veteran testimonies with powerful archival imagery and academic historical context, the inaugural volume serves as a broad introduction to this largely unknown chapter of 20th century jewish history. Thus, this directly furthers the Foundation's purpose of disseminating materials that aide in the study of 20th century jewish and world history.
