In August 1998, members of the New American community were invited to participate in recording information about their lives and experiences in the former Soviet Union and in Tucson. The call was published in The Newsletter of New Americans Club, in both English and Russian. Carol Zuckert, a member of the New Southwest Jewish Archives Committee, agreed to coordinate and undertake the interviews, available below. The Oral Histories Web site is dedicated to the memory of our friend, Israel Rubin. Email your comments or questions. Please, no genealogy questions.
