Yiddish Theater Actors Plot to Assassinate Stalin during His Last Days

A scene from the first act of 'Solomon Maimon' a play by M. Daniel staged by the state Jewish Theater in Moscow under the direction of People's Artist of the USSR, Solomon Mikhoels, 1940.

In his debut novel, The Yid award-winning investigative reporter Paul Goldberg tells the story of a ramshackle group of Yiddish-speaking artists and actors who devise a convoluted plan to assassinate Joseph Stalin just before his death in 1953.

Event: Paul Goldberg will be reading and signing on February 23rd at 7:00 p.m. at R.J. Julia Booksellers (768 Boston Post Road Madison, CT).

He'll be in conversation with his editor, James Meader, on February 24th at 7:00 p.m. Community Bookstore (143 7th Ave., Park Slope Brooklyn).
