Dov-Ber Krupnik, the protagonist of the duology Hidden Saints I Recall, sets out for Moscow as a researcher and writer from Hebrew University in Jerusalem to investigate the fate of Yiddish archives seized by Soviet security agencies in the end of the 1940s. The writer's arrival in Moscow awakens memories of his years as a student in the Yiddish Writing Program at Gorky Literary Institute, of his encounters with Yiddish writers and editors at the journal Sovietish Hezeymland, and of his own first steps in Yiddish literature.
The second book in Hidden Saints I Recall, the novel encompasses the period from 1981 to 1994, and it examines the fate of Yiddish literature and Yiddish writers in a time of historical rupture.
