Safe in Jewish Places: The Journey of a Jewish Researcher, Now a Refugee in War-Wracked Ukraine
Art historian and Jewish heritage researcher Dr. Eugeny Kotlyar, a professor at the Kharkiv State Academy of Design and Arts, was forced to flee from Kharkiv to Lviv after Russian forces bombarded the city.
In this powerful personal essay he describes his journey through Ukraine, which took him and his family through favorite Jewish places he had researched and written about for years — former shtetls which had been home to historic Tzaddikim.
He reflects on how he somehow felt safe in these places, redolent of Jewish history and heritage, and the prevailing power of the sages.
