| Description: | Professor Olga Litvak presents a talk titled "Literature and Theft: Sholem-Aleichem's Master Narrative." Litvak specializes in Eastern European and modern Jewish history. She has written and lectured on a wide range of subjects related to the study of Russian Jewry, including urban violence, literary and artistic life, war, revolution and migration.
Litvak's first book, "Conscription and the Search for Modern Russian Jewry," analyzes the cultural ramifications of Russian Jewry's first experience of conscription into the Russian army. She is editor of the "Painting and Sculpture" section of the landmark YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe, and has also pursued the study of Jewish participation in the making of modern Russian visual culture. Her current project is a biography of the Jewish writer and cultural entrepreneur Sholem-Aleichem.
