Emil Draitser, author of “Shush! Growing Up Jewish Under Stalin,” a whimsical but also painful memoir about the fate of the Jews in the Soviet Union, will be taking the stage in the ALOUD series at the Central Library at 7:00 p.m. on February 3, 2010. Joke-telling is always a form of resistance, but when it comes to Stalin, the humor is very black.
