Sara’s Century Episode 002: Beyond the Pale

In episode two, we learn of the deadly pogrom in Sara’s Belarusian town when Sara was just 12 days old. Like many Soviet Jews after the Bolshevik Revolution, Sara’s family left the Pale of Settlement, where Jews had been confined since the late 18th century, for Russia proper, moving to Saratov and then Astrakhan during Lenin’s “New Economic Policy.”

Sara’s Century Episode 001: Introduction to Sara’s Century

In the introductory episode, we meet Sara Mebel, Russian émigré and family member of Laurie Bernstein who created this oral history. Though Soviet socialism opened many doors to her, Sara paid a price when her father became a victim of Stalin’s Terror. Sara was a loyal Soviet citizen, but open antisemitism after the USSR’s collapse drove her from her homeland forever.
