SC EP003: A Barracks Home

The Mebel family’s move to the outskirts of Moscow in the late 1920s and the life they shared in one room of a crowded barracks with no indoor plumbing is the focus of Episode three. Although it sounds like poverty and hardship made for a difficult existence, these were the years Sara counted as her best because her family was still whole. New episodes are available every Wednesday from August 1 to October 17, 2018.
