Gennady Estraikhs book, "The History of Birobidzhan," delves into the birth, growth, demise, and afterlife of the Birobidzhan Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR). The book explores how the shtetl was widely used in Soviet propaganda as a solution to the "Jewish question," arguing that while demographically and culturally insignificant, the JAR played a key role in determining Jewish rights and entitlements in the Soviet world. Estraikh draws upon a wide range of Russian and Yiddish sources, including archival materials, newspaper articles, travelogues, memoirs, belles-letters, and scholarly publications, to describe and analyze the project and its realization. The book not only assesses the Birobidzhan project in the contexts of Soviet and Jewish history but also focuses on the contemporary "Jewish role of the region," which now has only a few thousand Jewish occupants amongst its residents.
