- Item consists of a recording of Page One about the Soviet–Afghan War with an interview with Janice Prager, a nurse from California who served as a volunteer at an Afghan refugee camp on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan between November and December 1985. She classifies the conflict as a genocide and believes that her Jewishness was the driving factor for her choice to serve as a volunteer, according to her, to make sure that genocides never happen again.
