Summary: Interesting facts
Review: Birobidjan of course failed to be the capital of Sovet Jewry(did Brighton Beach, Brooklin win this title?) The book is based onfacts, and facts usually can scare more than any fiction. I don't feel like the author makes the most of the facts. I do feel that the author is too soft in his judgement, I guess presenting the facts is always easier than providing a personal outlook.
