Most Polish Jews who escaped Nazi extermination survived as refugees in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan. Blending memoir, history and travelogue, Mikhal Dekel’s Tehran Children follows their odyssey. This event is part of the David Patterson lecture series.
Dekel teaches English and Comparative Literature at the City College and the CUNY Graduate Center, and directs CCNY’s Rifkind Center for the Humanities and Arts. She is the author of The Universal Jew: Masculinity, Modernity and the Zionist Moment (2010, Northwestern UP) and the Hebrew monograph Oedipus be-Kishinev (Bialik Institute, 2014). Tehran Children: A Holocaust Refugee Odyssey was published this year by W. W. Norton.
