Murav Wins NEH Award

Professor Harriet Murav, with her collaborator Sasha Senderovich of the University of Washington, has won a prestigious NEH Scholarly Translations and Editions Award for their work on the volume In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union. Together they will prepare for publication an annotated translation into English of ten Yiddish and Russian short stories written in the Soviet Union about the Soviet Jewish experience of World War II and the Holocaust. The award came in the third round of awards in 2023 from the NEH and was one of just 280 projects funded nationwide, for a total of $41.3 million.
