About the book: 1933 / “Affairs of Past Days” is not only a reflection of the author’s personal experiences, his “mind of cold observations and heart of sorrowful notes.” Genrikh Borisovich's whole life was a service, tireless and selfless, to the interests and needs of Russian Jewry. And the story of this life, written by him, is at the same time a significant chapter from the past of Russian Jewry, of enormous historical and social interest.
