"#JuliaIoffe never set out to #write a #book about herself, so it’s ironic that she won the #autobiography and #memoir category of the 2026 National #JewishBook Awards.
The #Washington resident is the author of “Motherland: A #Feminist #History of Modern #Russia From Revolution to Autocracy,” published in October.
Facing daily systemic #discrimination and treated as second-class citizens due to their #Judaism, 7-year-old #Ioffe and her family fled the #SovietUnion and settled in #Columbia, #Maryland.
A chapter of “Motherland” details Ioffe’s teen years, when she was a student at #BethTfilohDahan Community #School in #Baltimore.
“My mom initiated me into #Soviet history and what it means to come from that place and to be from a family that survived all that,” Ioffe recalled.
Her family’s #Jewish identity is a major facet of “Motherland.”

The legislation marks the latest attempt by local lawmakers to push back against Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation campaign, which has come under heightened scrutiny after federal agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens during protests in Minneapolis.
