Updated links - Jerry Berman’s letters: A South African Engineer who witnessed the Ukrainian Holodomor 1932-33

H-SAfrica subscribers may be interested in the letters of Jerry Berman (b. 1903). A South African immigrant from Lithuania, Berman arrived in South Africa in 1922 and studied at University of Cape Town. He qualified as a civil engineer but during the Great Depression there was little demand for his skills. So in 1931 he travelled to Ukraine, then part of the Soviet Union. He served as a foreign expert on Stalin’s first Five Year Plan, working for a company called Mostotrest on major bridge building projects.
