About the book: 2003 year / The history of the Jewish population of the Russian capital was not easy. Periods of cultural and economic growth were followed by new oppressions and outbreaks of anti-Semitism. And yet, Jews certainly made a valuable contribution to the cultural and historical appearance of our multinational city. “Jewish Moscow” introduces the reader to little-known materials about the Jewish residents of the capital, an extensive study by S. Vermeule “Jews in Moscow” (published from an archival manuscript), a modern guide to memorable places of the “Jewish” history of the city and other equally interesting materials. From them it becomes obvious how closely intertwined the history of Moscow is with the history of the Jewish people.
