From 1918 to 1922 as many as 40,000 Jews were killed in the pogroms of the Russian Civil War. The mass violence in Ukraine was part of a global phenomenon of ethnic and racial violence, which also included the Armenian genocide. This book talk examines the Yiddish and Russian literary response to the pogroms and the relief effort, exploring both the poetry of catastrophe and the documentation of catastrophe and care.
