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.

He reflects on how he somehow felt safe in these places, redolent of Jewish history and heritage, and the prevailing power of the sages.
