"The author’s enthusiasm for her topic is clear…Readers will find information here on Jews from Kiev in nearly every kind of endeavor, from business to the arts, and even the circus...Without any minimization of the prevalent anti-Semitism or violence, Khiterer describes well the achievements of the Jewish community...Khiterer’s work is at times as engaging as it is exhaustive, and it is hoped she will continue to remain such an amiable guide to a difficult past."
