On Ukrainian Jewish Heritage, the author of The Sea is Only Knee Deep (recently reviewed on the show here), Paulina Zelitsky, talks about the dangers she encountered while working at a secret naval base in Cuba during the second Cuban Missile Crisis, the circumstances that convinced her defecting was a lesser danger than staying in the USSR or Cuba, and why she believes we are facing a third, and much more dangerous, Cuban Missile Crisis.
