Although overshadowed in historical memory by the Holocaust; the anti-Jewish pogroms of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were at the time unrivaled episodes of ethnic violence. Incorporating newly available primary sources; this collection of groundbreaking essays by researchers from Europe; the United States; and Israel investigates the phenomenon of anti-Jewish violence; the local and transnational responses to pogroms; and instances where violence was averted. Focusing on the period from World War I through Russia’s early revolutionary years; the studies include Poland; Ukraine; Belorussia; Lithuania; Crimea; and Siberia.

I was amazed learning that the Dozens was played even in slaveryBy susieqThis book broke my heart more than any other book I have ever read about slavery! My ;my what horror my ancestors endured; and now we want even read or care about our history. We will buy offensive videos(you know what I mean) but we want buy a black history book and read and share with our children. I have stated in previous reviews my job of obtaining books (slavery) for my Black History Library.I read every one of them;several times.I was amazed learning that the Dozens was played even in slavery.(page 48) I remember while watching In Living Color early 1990's they played the dozens several times. I remember watching Steve Martin and Queen Latifa in the movie Bringing Down the House and I laughed when the white lady starting singing Mama Is Massa Gonna Sell us Tomorrow I didn't know this was a real song based on slaves whose family had been separated(page 105) or was about to be separated.Buy the book and be enlightened!3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Stolen Childhood; Second Edition.By MAFTI was apprehensive about purchasing Stolen Childhood. I had it on my Wish List for awhile and finally got up the nerve to read it. All I can say it is very informative. I never wanted to read details of childhood slavery. It was and still is abuse against children. Many may not be aware but childhood slavery is still prevalent worldwide. If there is wealth to be made; you can believe someone or some corporation is using oppression and slavery against these smallest victims as well. My only suggestion is if you purchase the 2nd edition; you will not need to purchase the 1st edition also.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
