Subject: [Ukr-Odessa-Gen] Isaac Babel

The great Russian writer and playwright Isaac Babel was mentioned on this
board because of his descriptions of Jewish life in Odessa. He was shot in
1940 on orders of Joe Stalin. This morning his daughter Natalie was
interviewed by Dianne Riehm on National Public Radio. Natalie is the editor
of a newly published edition of Babel's collected works. The interview was
fascinating. Dianne Riehm's program is rebroadcast in the evening on many
PBS stations. If you have any interest in the subject, I highly recommend
tuning in.
