‘Deliverance: America and the Famine in Soviet Russia, 1921-1923.’
Boris Bogen, coordinating the work of the American Relief Administration [ARA] and the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee [JDC], wrote Strauss a series of long, thoughtful letters describing the situation in the Ukraine. Bogen ultimately wrote more than one hundred letters to Strauss, some running to eight typed pages.
