Professor Lubomyr Luciuk will discuss How People Live in Soviet Russia: Impressions from a Journey, Mendel Osherowitch's account of his visit to Soviet Ukraine in 1932 at a time when millions of Ukrainians were dying of starvation. Professor Luciuk edited the volume, newly translated from the Yiddish, which has been described as "one of the most penetrating and moving accounts of daily life in Ukraine during the famine."
