Zusammenfassung:The Dream of Social Justice and Bad Moral Luck examines the intertwined lives of five women and three men, Russian Jews in the first half of the twentieth century, as their belief in social transformation unraveled.

Political cowardice is a constant theme, but so is moral resistance that had no point beyond an individual's conscience
