Description

Thousands of Jews were expected to arrive in LA from the Soviet Union during the 80s. My family was one of them. No home, money, or English...nothing. Whenever I recall that story, what comes to mind more than anything in a world that seems very different from today, is the grit to pursue & persevere. For us, the Russian invasion into Ukraine is all too familiar. "Trapped in a Circus War" is a dystopian circus piece. An autocrat puppeteer plucking people into a nightmarish realm of death. The person can't escape history - the surrounding buildings towering. Amusement for one, terror for the other. Again, Ukrainian Jews find themselves in another war where they must leave & start over. 50% of this sale is going to the Jewish Federation of Los Angeles, who assisted my family during a time of survival. The JFedLA is providing relief to about 200,000 people through the Ukrainian crisis. The JFedLA was one of the places that changed my family’s life & allowed mine to begin.
