A great and often moving tribute to a beautiful city that played a key role in Jewish history. Professors Kenex and Baumgartner complimented each other quite nicely.

This course was very stimulating and I learned many new things. Professors Kenez & Baumgarten are a great double act, with great insight and deep knowledge of their subjects. I took their Holocaust course a few years ago which was amazing and this was a great and pertinent follow up in present times.

An essential course to understand the Jewish people, the 19th century in Eastern Europe and the Russian Revolution process.
