My life began in Odessa, but I did not see her, my mother Nadia was prégnant of me, we were in a camp of refugees in 1945 and she left Odessa with my father Joseph just before my birth, so that my little ears have heard the street music of Odessa. So I never have seen Odessa but I heard her! I was born in West Europe, became doctor, and with my father, we played music at home. . My son is a musician too. I love the movie "Cuirassé Potemkine" of Sergueï Eisenstein. I am now a grandma musician and I play Klezmer and Russian music. 🎶🎶🎶💝
I hope to one day visit Odessa, the home of my mothers and fathers. They left after the pogrom of 1871, and eventually made their way to the mountains of eastern Norway. We've lived in Norway ever since, but stories of Odessa are still told in my family, over a hundred years later.
I met a friend 50 years ago who walked from Poland at the end of 1939 to Odessa ,his parents murdered by the nazis.At 16 years old he arrived in Egypt and joined the British army saying he was 18! He fought the germans and obtained the british nationality. Rest in pace Alex!
@@swetoniuszkorda5737 The fact his parents were murdered by Nazis makes him Jewish in the first place. And in Poland lots of Jews were murdered too, even when the war was over and they returned to their homes which were occupied by Polish people, so they were killed because the new "owners" of the houses were afraid those Jews wanted their houses back. So why would he wanted to be Polish. Be aware that I am not saying anything bad about the many Polish people that risked their lives by saving a lot of Jewish people. And I know a lot of Jewish children were in hiding at the homes of normal 'every day" Polish people..
@@raanangeberer1903 As if I hear my mother speak. Pintele, means a little bit in Jiddisch. We red this book together, we did that often, buy the same books, or one of us got it in the library and if the book was good, we urged the other to read it. So we did read a book written by a Dutch writer, Albert Mol. He was not Jewish, but grew up in the red light district in Amsterdam, nearby the Jewish neighbourhood so he knew a lot of Jewish families and had Jewish friends. Anyway, the book was called Mengele broek en Pintje Billen, what means as much as: "A lot of trouser and a little bit of bum" sorry, can't translate it better. Have a nice life, and thanks for reminding me of good memories.

Отец моего деда родом из Одессы, он тоже был еврейского происхождения. Он покинул Украину в 1917-1918 годах и изменил свое имя, когда переехал в другую страну (сначала в Польшу, а затем во Францию). Я не знаю, как восстановить настоящую фамилию... я надеюсь, что когда-нибудь смогу побывать на месте и найти ответы... Из Франции я ничего не могу найти. Всем пока 👋 (Извините за ошибки, я плохо говорю по-русски...)

Сведения надо искать в Одесском областном архиве - писать туда с указанием фамилии прадеда и т.п. Ещё могут быть сведения в Национальном архиве Республики Украина. Многие документы оцифрованы: равинские списки фиксации рождений, списки жителей по улицам и многое другое. Есть в интернете путеводители по архивам - надо смотреть. Удачи вам.
So many of us, me included, have our heritage in the Pogrom era: For me, my great-grandfather arrived in the 1870's, alone at six, with nothing. He worked all his life as a fruit-seller, and bought but one big beauty: A piano my grandmother still has to this day.
Early 1800's for me, they came at a time when the army here accepted anyone, notably jews and "turks" (meaning anyone from the south or east of Greece), along with the more traditional German, Flemish, Walloon and native soldiery. After a time in uniform, they opened a grocer that stayed in the family until my grandfather died. None of my family speaks yiddish today or is particularly jewish, its a bit sad. I try to learn some, but its kind of hard when there's no one to speak it to.
@@zefft.f4010 Duolingo has now Yiddish from English, I feel it's worth paying for it, however using a computer instead of the smartphone app you get unlimited use even without spending any money, they have events like virtual meetings for different languages, if there are not for Yiddish yet, you could start them.

Majority of Jewish people in Eastern Europe spoke Slavic dialects since 1500, nobody spoke Yiddish to my knowledge. But if your village listened to Jewish jiddish music they were Jews for sure. No Slavic village would listen to Yiddish Jewish songs
@@yakov95000 this is correct. the german communitty in ukraine, especially the more evangelical ones, lived very close to jews, and thre once was a colony made uo of half jews half germans named judenplann. i have heard stories from people whos parents spoke there dialect along side russian, but that also learned yiddish to communicate with the shop keepers.

As a German who's parents were born in the Soviet union i kind of like it a lot. It's a fusion between cultures. The melody sounds like an old Russian or ukranian song . And then there is the Yiddish. Wich is similar to a southern German dialect except for the Hebrew words in it. Never heard something like this before 👍
same here. my great grandfather was from a small german mennonite village near zaporyzhe that no longer exists. he lived very close to the jews and his brother remembers seeing there "funny hats" i dont know if u know but there was a german village created by the czar goverment to help jews learn how to farm. it was called judenplann. although it sounds nice the whole thing was based in anti Semitism. it ultimately failed. and yiddish sounds really similar to there dialect. are ur parents from saratow? or central asia? syem privet.
@@robertlichtner4214 I do not agree with you that Yiddish sounds like a southern German dialect. I grew up with 4 Germanic dialects: Swiss Bernese dialect, Zurich dialect, my parents Austrian-Karinthian dialect, and my German cousins' Baden dialect, and last, but not least, a grew up a 6-minute bus ride away from a two villages where Surbtaler or Endinger Yiddish was spoken, a very unique Yiddish dialect, which is now said to be exinct. From all the different Germanic dialects I actively know, my parents Austrian-Karinthian is the closest to Yiddish and not my southern High-Alemmanic Zurich dialect. But I agree, speaking and understanding southern German dialects helps a lot to understand Yiddish. I do understand - depending on the topic - plus minus about 90%, but I have to concentrate very, very hard, esp. with East European Yiddish, although my grandfather grew up Russian-speaking and I know a bit Russian, too, but I lack most of the Hebrew Yiddish word, which in many cases is more of a cultural and religious problem than a linguistic.
My grandmother spoke Yiddish. Her childhood sweetheart was Jewish and taught my grandmother a little. She said that they were very kind and nice people. When Russia promotes the narrative that Ukrainians are nazis, my heart bleeds.
@@romantkachenko3188 My family is from Ukraine 🇺🇦, my father from Odessa and my mother from Kyiv.

@@DavidGrossmanOfficial Oh, I think thats because of fear or jealous, or stupidity. Many reasons but nothing justifies such actions. Some people just don't understand what humanity is.
When did they come to Odessa? Maybe more recently then the other Ashkenazi Jewish who already lived in the area but did not spoke Yiddish anymore since centuries (ca 1500)? To my knowledge a lot of Jewish Ashkenazi who lived there since 1500 spoke a sort of Ukrainian dialect and also translated some Yiddish words to this dialect…

My friend Sam Verovsky was born in Odessa in 1906. He lived through WW1 and saw Odessa burn. He lived through the Russian Revolution and subsequent Civil War. He witnessed firing squads in the streets of Odessa. He came to the US in the 20's and went back to Europe to serve in the US Army to fight the Nazis. I am honored to have known him, but relieved that he passed some year's ago and doesn't have to witness his homeland once again ravaged by war.

My beloved husband (Zt'l) was from Odessa. How I miss him. I'm grateful for this video: I am able to see the streets with which he grew up. He was a symphonic musician, and played in the opera house. He described the opera house, and was proud of his time there. Hashem, help Ukraine.
My mother would tell me stories of her childhood growing up in Southern Poland. Lucky for me she was given permission by the Meelitzer Rebbe to come alone at age 17 to the Golden Medina. She managed to get out her younger brother and sister and mother in time, but her father and a married older brother perished in the Shoa. Her memories of Austria Hungary under the Tsar were painful and disturbing and she hardly had anything good to say about growing up in that anti-semitic environment.

Very much from me childhood memories. Many peoples left Europe and relocated to Detroit Michigan and Chicago I'll. Where I had family immediately after WW2. Our neighborhood in Detroit the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhoods were so colorful and the music from early recordings along with occasional live instruments could be heard as the sunsetted. As attrition occurred the next generations played radios and I remember listening to Frank Sinatra and Bette Midler as I walked the old neighborhoods to the corner stores. Then it changed again and I heard the Beatles and Rolling Stones... our family moved out of state around then. But I never forgot the folks around us from that era. They are in every childhood memory. And I was raised Catholic! Now age 70.
My father's parents left Krakow, Poland in the late 1890s. He was a Jew, she was a Catholic. I can't help but wonder if they fled their families, the way people were treated, or both.

Sometimes I hear my maternal grandma whistling this song. Immediately recognized it after clicking the video. Detail: We're brazilians. Her ancestors were Jewish and even she didn't know it. I've discovered this fact some years ago and explained her why her parents spent their time moving around the northeast region in the 40s and 50s nonstop while having 12 children, why people didn't like them for no reason at the time, why they had non catholic traditions, why they couldn't eat pork, etc. We don't have jewish surnames anymore, it was just replaced with "Dias", a random portuguese surname and pretty abstract so people didn't bother the family in the future, like many jews did to hide in Brazil.
Good memories of when we visited Odessa. Good food and friendly people. From there we went to Crimea and visited Yalta and then to strait of Kirsch to Russia. How things have changed. People always lose when governments are corrupt.
I am trying to do emails with laptop on lap and listening to this, but my natural movements are to tap my feet and hit my hand to my knee! Some badly written mails here haha, love it.
my grandmother, born in 1932, adored Odessa. She worked in international relations and every time she came back from the Union, she brought a picture of that city. She says that it is very similar to Opatija, the city where she's is currently enjoying her retirement.
That is so lucky. My Grandmother came to the US as a refugee in 1946. A Holocaust survivor who always saw things the way they were in America and begged her children to move to Israel. Then she saw the patterns of tribalism and oppression there, too. Let's be free thinking and empathetic.
I hope you think that way of people that are coming 100 years later. Escaping suffering and death, and looking for a new life so their descendents can look back the way you are looking back now, alive.

Many russian jews came to my country, Denmark, after progroms around the turn of the last century, and brought with them this kind of music, full of both sad and joyfull tones, which I love and often listen to. You don't have to understand the words, to enjoy and understand the meaning of music. Most of Denmarks jews were saved in 1943, and smuggled by fishingboats to Sweden, so luckily they are still here as fellow danes, making our culture richer. :-)
Хотелось бы исправить ваши нечаянные глупости: в русских губерниях Российской Империи не было ни одного " progrom". Просто потому, что евреи (иудеи) жили за так называемой "чертой оседлости", то есть в украинских, белорусских и литовских местечках. Поэтому не называйте ваших евреев "русскими", потому что все они на самом деле польские, украинские, белорусские и литовские. Вот там и ищите ваши pogroms. :о)) Например, самым страшным считается кишинёвский погром 1903 года (Молдавия)) - тогда было убито 39 человек, а сам погром был остановлен русскими казаками. Но за это погром русские заплатили: в Екатеринбурге евреями была расстреляна вся царская семья (кстати, родственники вашей королевской семьи). Но об этом вы, почему-то, не вспоминаете. / I would like to correct your unwitting nonsense: in the Russian provinces of the Russian Empire there was not a single "progrom". Simply because the Jews lived behind the so-called "border of sedentarization", that is, in Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian places. So do not call your Jews "Russians", because all of them are actually Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian, but not Russians. So look for your pogroms there :o)). For example, the most terrible was the Chisinau pogrom of 1903 (Moldova). - Then 39 people were killed, and the pogrom was stopped by the Russian Cossacks. But the Russians paid for this pogrom: in Yekaterinburg, the Jews shot whole Royal family (by the way, relatives of your royal family). But nobody remembers about this (except the Russians)...
S. G. Yes, borders change. On paper, all of the above that you mention (Jews included) were Russians until the fall of the Russian empire. But are you actually trying to imply that not a single Russian ever laid a hand on Jews in a pogrom? A single Cossack never participated or helped attackers? And if this is what you mean, you say that people shouldn’t say that “the Russians” participated in pogroms, but you think it’s okay to say “the Jews” killed the royal family?

He was not Jewish, but grew up in the red light district in Amsterdam, nearby the Jewish neighbourhood so he knew a lot of Jewish families and had Jewish friends. Anyway, the book was called Mengele broek en Pintje Billen, what means as much as: "A lot of trouser and a little bit of bum" sorry, can't translate it better. Have a nice life, and thanks for reminding me of good memories.
As any art that reflects the culture should. The minor keys reminds one of the past, whilst the fast tempo and arpeggios reflect the vitality and energy of the present (l'chaim!).

Отец моего деда родом из Одессы, он тоже был еврейского происхождения. Он покинул Украину в 1917-1918 годах и изменил свое имя, когда переехал в другую страну (сначала в Польшу, а затем во Францию). Я не знаю, как восстановить настоящую фамилию...
я надеюсь, что когда-нибудь смогу побывать на месте и найти ответы...
Из Франции я ничего не могу найти.

Hast du noch Unterlagen mit deinem/eurem ehemaligen Familiennamen? Hier in Deutschland würde ich damit zum Amt gehen und eine Namensänderung beantragen. Vielleicht beim Standesamt, vielleicht beim Bürgeramt. Fragen...!!! 😊 Viel Glück. 🙏🏻🍀
Вы очень даже хорошо пишете по русски и соблюдаете некоторые нормы пунктуации ! Даже мы живущие в России порой допускаем ошибки
Главное, что есть желание у вас, оно есть и у тех кто навсегда связан одной кровью... А фамилия дело десятое... что нам пришлось пережить мало кто может представить!!!
Сведения надо искать в Одесском областном архиве - писать туда с указанием фамилии прадеда и т.п. Ещё могут быть сведения в Национальном архиве Республики Украина. Многие документы оцифрованы: равинские списки фиксации рождений, списки жителей по улицам и многое другое. Есть в интернете путеводители по архивам - надо смотреть. Удачи вам.

So many of us, me included, have our heritage in the Pogrom era: For me, my great-grandfather arrived in the 1870's, alone at six, with nothing. He worked all his life as a fruit-seller, and bought but one big beauty: A piano my grandmother still has to this day.
Early 1800's for me, they came at a time when the army here accepted anyone, notably jews and "turks" (meaning anyone from the south or east of Greece), along with the more traditional German, Flemish, Walloon and native soldiery. After a time in uniform, they opened a grocer that stayed in the family until my grandfather died. None of my family speaks yiddish today or is particularly jewish, its a bit sad. I try to learn some, but its kind of hard when there's no one to speak it to.
@@zefft.f4010 Duolingo has now Yiddish from English, I feel it's worth paying for it, however using a computer instead of the smartphone app you get unlimited use even without spending any money, they have events like virtual meetings for different languages, if there are not for Yiddish yet, you could start them.
@@zefft.f4010 Why is it "sad"? We all go through changes. Just like your grandparents did themselves.
@@NYCBG Because its a fascinating language and culture that is nearly extinct in Europe, but still has an official minority language status in my country. Even though nearly no one speaks it.

Majority of Jewish people in Eastern Europe spoke Slavic dialects since 1500, nobody spoke Yiddish to my knowledge. But if your village listened to Jewish jiddish music they were Jews for sure. No Slavic village would listen to Yiddish Jewish songs
@@yakov95000 this is correct. the german communitty in ukraine, especially the more evangelical ones, lived very close to jews, and thre once was a colony made uo of half jews half germans named judenplann. i have heard stories from people whos parents spoke there dialect along side russian, but that also learned yiddish to communicate with the shop keepers.

I was an Au Pair for a Jewish family in Zurich in 1963. They only spoke Yiddish when O'ma and O'pa came visiting.
As a German who's parents were born in the Soviet union i kind of like it a lot. It's a fusion between cultures. The melody sounds like an old Russian or ukranian song . And then there is the Yiddish. Wich is similar to a southern German dialect except for the Hebrew words in it. Never heard something like this before 👍
So if you speak German you understand perfectly Yiddish?
@@FoundSheep-AN sadly not, Yiddish is a mix of Hebrew and old German. I can only understand the German words.
@@robertlichtner4214 And some slavicismes, mostly Polish.
same here. my great grandfather was from a small german mennonite village near zaporyzhe that no longer exists. he lived very close to the jews and his brother remembers seeing there "funny hats" i dont know if u know but there was a german village created by the czar goverment to help jews learn how to farm. it was called judenplann. although it sounds nice the whole thing was based in anti Semitism. it ultimately failed. and yiddish sounds really similar to there dialect. are ur parents from saratow? or central asia? syem privet.
@@robertlichtner4214 I do not agree with you that Yiddish sounds like a southern German dialect. I grew up with 4 Germanic dialects: Swiss Bernese dialect, Zurich dialect, my parents Austrian-Karinthian dialect, and my German cousins' Baden dialect, and last, but not least, a grew up a 6-minute bus ride away from a two villages where Surbtaler or Endinger Yiddish was spoken, a very unique Yiddish dialect, which is now said to be exinct. From all the different Germanic dialects I actively know, my parents Austrian-Karinthian is the closest to Yiddish and not my southern High-Alemmanic Zurich dialect. But I agree, speaking and understanding southern German dialects helps a lot to understand Yiddish. I do understand - depending on the topic - plus minus about 90%, but I have to concentrate very, very hard, esp. with East European Yiddish, although my grandfather grew up Russian-speaking and I know a bit Russian, too, but I lack most of the Hebrew Yiddish word, which in many cases is more of a cultural and religious problem than a linguistic.

When did they come to Odessa? Maybe more recently then the other Ashkenazi Jewish who already lived in the area but did not spoke Yiddish anymore since centuries (ca 1500)? To my knowledge a lot of Jewish Ashkenazi who lived there since 1500 spoke a sort of Ukrainian dialect and also translated some Yiddish words to this dialect…

My friend Sam Verovsky was born in Odessa in 1906. He lived through WW1 and saw Odessa burn. He lived through the Russian Revolution and subsequent Civil War. He witnessed firing squads in the streets of Odessa. He came to the US in the 20's and went back to Europe to serve in the US Army to fight the Nazis. I am honored to have known him, but relieved that he passed some year's ago and doesn't have to witness his homeland once again ravaged by war.

Very much from me childhood memories. Many peoples left Europe and relocated to Detroit Michigan and Chicago I'll. Where I had family immediately after WW2. Our neighborhood in Detroit the Jefferson Chalmers neighborhoods were so colorful and the music from early recordings along with occasional live instruments could be heard as the sunsetted. As attrition occurred the next generations played radios and I remember listening to Frank Sinatra and Bette Midler as I walked the old neighborhoods to the corner stores. Then it changed again and I heard the Beatles and Rolling Stones... our family moved out of state around then. But I never forgot the folks around us from that era. They are in every childhood memory. And I was raised Catholic! Now age 70.
Prelepo! Ja živeh nekad u Odesi...
My father's parents left Krakow, Poland in the late 1890s. He was a Jew, she was a Catholic. I can't help but wonder if they fled their families, the way people were treated, or both.
Well they sure wouldn't be able to stay in Poland married like that.
@@rosebud4387 Considering that my Uncle Jerry, their first child, was around 2 years old when the came here, they were certainly staying somewhere after they got married.
Bardzo autentyczne i piękne! Dziękuję!
Literally when I heard Yiddish I started tearing up.
The music, lyrics work for me, my soul recognizes... thank you for enriching me.
Спасибо ☺️ Ольга огромное, Ваш голос волшебный, и моя родная Одесса тоже 👍😊🌺😀❤️
Praying for all of Ukraine and the many refugees.
Great historical footage, sadly I don't understand the lyrics! But I enjoyed the song etc. Namaste, Z. (thanks, I clicked, SHOW MORE)
Sometimes I hear my maternal grandma whistling this song. Immediately recognized it after clicking the video.
Detail: We're brazilians. Her ancestors were Jewish and even she didn't know it. I've discovered this fact some years ago and explained her why her parents spent their time moving around the northeast region in the 40s and 50s nonstop while having 12 children, why people didn't like them for no reason at the time, why they had non catholic traditions, why they couldn't eat pork, etc. We don't have jewish surnames anymore, it was just replaced with "Dias", a random portuguese surname and pretty abstract so people didn't bother the family in the future, like many jews did to hide in Brazil.
One of my the best songs ever. Very beautiful. Love it.
My maternal grandfather and his family were from Odessa came to Massachusetts in 1902
Одесса уже нета
Both my paternal Grandparents came to the US from Odessa
Who cares!
@@anastasiadegaule9472 you care enough to comment. Also enough to seek out Yiddish music.
David Cohen 😀😀👍👍
My grandma too! came to Israel though
@@anastasiadegaule9472 I think it's fun to hear people's real and personal stories.
It is as if I look back to a past that I once belonged to.
Even as A Mexican this music sends me to a sad Era and makes me cry ...Love Yiddish music
Magnifique chanson. Quelle nostalgie de ce monde disparu ! Ne jamais oublier. Bravo et merci pour cette diffusion.😀
un peu comme Fouli Jai, chanson gitane.
Good memories of when we visited Odessa. Good food and friendly people. From there we went to Crimea and visited Yalta and then to strait of Kirsch to Russia. How things have changed. People always lose when governments are corrupt.
I am trying to do emails with laptop on lap and listening to this, but my natural movements are to tap my feet and hit my hand to my knee! Some badly written mails here haha, love it.
Great! I really loved The Voice and music!

my grandmother, born in 1932, adored Odessa. She worked in international relations and every time she came back from the Union, she brought a picture of that city. She says that it is very similar to Opatija, the city where she's is currently enjoying her retirement.
HERMOSA Y ALEGRE MELODÌA . Gracias por pasarla, no la conocìa . La alegrìa es inmensa y acogedora . Gracias por pasar tan bella mùsica .
Spasibo za pamyat pro nashu Evreyskuyu Odessu! Eto super!
My grandfather was from Odessa,luckily he came to America in 1907.
My father was born near Odessa, born in 1908 and came to the States in 1921
I would have wished many many more Jews from the east were immigrated to the States back then 😢
That is so lucky. My Grandmother came to the US as a refugee in 1946. A Holocaust survivor who always saw things the way they were in America and begged her children to move to Israel. Then she saw the patterns of tribalism and oppression there, too. Let's be free thinking and empathetic.
@@JH-kw8zy Oppression and Tribalism in Israel? You mean all around Israel!
I hope you think that way of people that are coming 100 years later. Escaping suffering and death, and looking for a new life so their descendents can look back the way you are looking back now, alive.
Beautiful music. Greetings from Iran.
Mis abuelos emigraron a argentina y hablaban yidish y polaco los de mí mamá y ucrañano los de mí papá. Yo nunca aprendí hablo Hebreo castellano e inglés. Los entendía cuando hablaban pero no les podía responder.. Supongo que fue la rebeldía de la época.. En ese momento los jóvenes sionistas veníamos el yidish como el idioma de la diáspora y lo rechaza amos... Hoy me arrepiento por tonto me perdí charlar con ellos y su experiencias.. 🫂🫂🫂🇮🇱🇮🇱🇦🇷🇦🇷🇮🇱🇮🇱
Beautiful voice. Thank you for sharing.
Many russian jews came to my country, Denmark, after progroms around the turn of the last century, and brought with them this kind of music, full of both sad and joyfull tones, which I love and often listen to. You don't have to understand the words, to enjoy and understand the meaning of music. Most of Denmarks jews were saved in 1943, and smuggled by fishingboats to Sweden, so luckily they are still here as fellow danes, making our culture richer. :-)
Хотелось бы исправить ваши нечаянные глупости: в русских губерниях Российской Империи не было ни одного " progrom". Просто потому, что евреи (иудеи) жили за так называемой "чертой оседлости", то есть в украинских, белорусских и литовских местечках. Поэтому не называйте ваших евреев "русскими", потому что все они на самом деле польские, украинские, белорусские и литовские. Вот там и ищите ваши pogroms. :о)) Например, самым страшным считается кишинёвский погром 1903 года (Молдавия)) - тогда было убито 39 человек, а сам погром был остановлен русскими казаками. Но за это погром русские заплатили: в Екатеринбурге евреями была расстреляна вся царская семья (кстати, родственники вашей королевской семьи). Но об этом вы, почему-то, не вспоминаете. /
I would like to correct your unwitting nonsense: in the Russian provinces of the Russian Empire there was not a single "progrom". Simply because the Jews lived behind the so-called "border of sedentarization", that is, in Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian places. So do not call your Jews "Russians", because all of them are actually Polish, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Lithuanian, but not Russians. So look for your pogroms there :o)). For example, the most terrible was the Chisinau pogrom of 1903 (Moldova). - Then 39 people were killed, and the pogrom was stopped by the Russian Cossacks. But the Russians paid for this pogrom: in Yekaterinburg, the Jews shot whole Royal family (by the way, relatives of your royal family). But nobody remembers about this (except the Russians)...
Jan, we, Jews, remember well the salvage of Jews by Danes and we appreciate this greatly! Thank you so much! Be blessed!
S. G. Yes, borders change. On paper, all of the above that you mention (Jews included) were Russians until the fall of the Russian empire. But are you actually trying to imply that not a single Russian ever laid a hand on Jews in a pogrom? A single Cossack never participated or helped attackers? And if this is what you mean, you say that people shouldn’t say that “the Russians” participated in pogroms, but you think it’s okay to say “the Jews” killed the royal family?
@@sergegrig С точки зрения морали, истории смерть Романовых не более значима, чем участь сотен тысяч детей, обреченных царизмом на погибель. Если вы такой жалостливый, вспомните их. Или их жизни менее значимы в глазах Создателя?
@Edna Turner It is said here in Denmark, that when the germans wanted the danish jews to wear the "Judenstern", the king told them that he would be the first to put one on his chest - hence danish jews never had to wear one... :-)
Time and again this touches us so much!
I note that some bits of the movie are excerpted from Eisenstein’s “Potemkin,” which also takes place in Odessa. In fact the excerpts are from the Odessa Steps sequence.
My grandfather in 1914 was in Odessa. My grandfather Pole
A very good song !!
Thank you very much for sharing this good music !!
