Calamities
Upheavals are embedded into Jewish history, and as such, they are a part of personal and family experience of being a Jew, especially, in Russian Empire and, later, Soviet Union. Wars and revolutions affected Jews in larger degree than other ethnic groups. During wars, especially at religious/ethnic wars such as Crusades in Middle Age and World War II in 20th Century, Jews were murdered at masses.
Wars and revolutions produced great calamity and destruction of Jewish lives and properties. |
