Vladimir Nabokov (1899-1977) and Véra Nabokov (née Slonim, 1902-1991) met in early 1920s Berlin; their relationship encompassed two continents and five languages. In this lecture, author and scholar Maxim D. Shrayer brings to life rare and archival materials to explore the dynamics of mixed marriages and the boundaries of modern Jewish culture.
