This talk describes how Schachno Epstein, a man with five aliases whose most common name has been variously transliterated from Yiddish to English, slipped through the crack of history. Dr. Catherine Predergast, Professor of English, will discuss the Yiddish sources and Comintern files that record his remarkable and revealing life.
