Jews in Russia and Poland 1825-1894
by Simon Dubnow
Simon Dubnow, born in 1860 to a struggling Jewish family in the Belarussian town of Mstsislaw, rose to become a prominent scholar of Jewish history and a passionate activist. His Jewish identity led him to traverse cities like St. Petersburg, Odessa, Vilna, and Berlin, ultimately seeking refuge in Riga, Latvia. Tragically, in 1941, he was captured during the Nazi occupation and met a brutal fate in the Riga ghetto. Dubnows life reflects the profound suffering of Jews in Eastern Europe throughout the early 20th century. Since the late Middle Ages, Jews migrated to Poland, often finding protection from Polish kings who valued their economic contributions, yet they also faced relentless persecution, particularly during times of weakened monarchy. Following Polands annexation by Russia in the late 18th century, Jews became targets of systematic oppression under the Russian regime. This harrowing history mirrors Dubnows own journey, culminating in the horrors of the Holocaust. - Summary by
