Ukraine's Pogroms
Sinopsis :
A sweeping&nbspagaof a Jewish family and community
fighting for&nbspurvval against the ravages of history.Set
between events depicted in&nbspFidler on the
Roof&nbspandnbspchindler&#8217List, Lisa
Brahin&#8217nbspTears over Russia&nbspbrigs to life a piece
of Jewish history that has never before been told. Between
1917 and 1921,&nbsptwety years before the Holocaust began,
an estimated 100,000 to 250,000 Jews were murdered in anti-
Jewish pogroms across Ukraine. Lisa grew up transfixed by
her grandmother Channa&#8217stories about her family being
forced to flee their hometown of Stavishche, as armies and
bandit groups raided village after village, killing Jewish

residents. Channa described a&nbspperlous three-year
journey through&nbspRusia&nbspandRomania, led at first by
a gallant American who had snuck into Ukraine to save his
immediate family and ended up leading an exodus of nearly
eighty to safety. With almost no published sources to validate
her grandmother&#8217tales,&nbspLis embarked on her
incredible journey to tell Channa&#8217story, forging
connections with archivists&nbsparond the world to find
elusive documents to fill in the gaps of what happened in
Stavishche. She also tapped into connections closer to home,
gathering testimonies from her grandmother&#8217relatives,
childhood friends and neighbors. The result is a moving
historical family narrative that speaks to universal human
themes&#8212th resilience and hope of ordinary people
surviving the ravages of history and human cruelty.&nbspWit
the growing passage of time, it is unlikely that we will see
another family saga emerge so richly detailing this forgotten
time period.&nbspTeas Over Russia&nbspelouently proves
that true life is sometimes more compelling than fiction.
