Abstract
An analysis of the first years of the global movement for Soviet Jewry, “My Brother’s Keeper”: American Jewish Youth and the Making of the Soviet Jewry Movement is an in-depth study that gives credence to the oft-overlooked American youth branch that galvanized the American Jewish community to action. Primarily focused on the Student Struggle for Soviet Jewry, it chronicles the coming of age of diasporic Jewish students in the post-Holocaust era. The analysis accounts for those at the cross section of “Jewish,” and “youth” during the tumultuous era of countercultures.
