Evreiskie Pogromy ["Jewish Massacre."]

(RUSSIA)

Moscow

1926

Numerous photographic illustrations. Russian text

A rare volume. A detailed album highlighting the horrific results of a wave of ferocious pogroms afflicted upon Jewish communities in the Ukraine including Skvira (Skver), Poltava, Uman, Kiev and Yelizavetgrad during the Civil War years 1918-21. The publication was issued by Z.S. Ostrovsky on behalf of the Jewish Committee for Aid to Victims of Pogrom. The text has a distinctly Nationalist element, portraying Jews saved by the Red Army from the attacking native population. See Z. Gitelman, A Century of Ambivalence: The Jews of Russia and the Soviet Union 1881 to the Present (1988) pp. 97-108
