Description

Faulkner said “The past is never dead. It's not even past.” In this Touro Talks, Dr. Henry Abramson, historian and dean of Lander College for Men, spoke with former refusenik and author Rabbi Dr. Yosef Mendelevich on the occasion of the release of his new volume, The Cantonists, published by Touro University Press. They speak about Mendelevich’s experience in the gulag, integrating into a society, army conscription, and the relevance of his most recent book for the issues we still face today.
