WOODLAND HILLS — Conscripted into the Bolshevik army, 19-year-old Max Barash was supposed to board a train headed east to the front lines of the Russian civil war. When he got to the station, however, he jumped on a train headed west in search of a second chance and new beginning in the United States. He was in search of refuge from persecution, discrimination and violence facing him as a Jew in the Ukraine. The year was 1919.
