Nathan of Hanover is best known for his moving chronicle of the Khmel'nyts'kyi (Chmielnicki) Rebellion. Entitled Yeven Metsulah ("The Abyss of Despair"), it records with remarkable fairness the social, political, economic and religious background of the mid-17th century Ukrainian movement against the Poles, along with the horrible pogroms perpetrated in the context of that violent era. His analysis of the overall demographic impact of the attacks has been challenged by modern scholarship, but Hanover's powerful treatment of the martyrdom of Ukrainian Jewry made a powerful impact on Jewish memory for centuries.

A very interesting, colloquial lecture. Thank you! But hearing again and again that the lecture is given in Surfside, I hope very much that no one there has been affected by the collapse of the apartment building!

Another great lecture. Many thanks, Dr. Abramson.

You said that a woman in the Ukraine took you for a Pole. I have seen several Americans who have learned Russian and they always sounded like Polish trying to speak in Russian due to the lack of palatal consonants in English.

Bohdan Chmielnicki - Zaporozhye hetman, leader of the Cossack uprising against the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the years 1648-1657, national hero of Ukraine. Chmielnicki told people that Poles sold them as slaves "to the damned Jews." In this battle cry, the Cossacks and peasants massacred many Jewish and Polish-Lithuanian burghers, as well as the nobles in the years 1648-1649.

Herring you sold me for 10$ I can buy for one dollar. "You see it's working already"

The word pogrom doesn't have an unknown origin. Opposite is the true. It stems from the Russian verb громить - gromit' that means to destroy,strike etc. And it is a common word known by any Russian speaker.

Interesting to hear about the West-East tension in Ukraine a year before the crisis of 2014 broke out

The picture of the Cossacks was painted by Ilya Repin in 1891. It is actually about a supposed letter in reply by the Cossack leader Ivan Dmitrovich Sirko in 1675 to the Turkish Sultan Mehmet IV, who was demanding their submission. The letter was full of insults and telling Mehmet what he could do to his mother.

I wonder if what you said of the Russian Orthodox is true, that their priests can marry. I am of the Ukrainian Catholic Church, (pejoratively referred to as "uniate" by the Russian Orthodox chuch) and for our people, though we have married clergy, our priests cannot marry --- it is our married men who can be ordained. A significant difference. It must be done in that order. A widowed priest cannot remarry.

This information lends serious credence to the claims that I am a descendent of a forced conversion to Catholicism from this precise period in Ukrainian history. Unfortunately my grand parents viewed the topic as a family scandal that was not to be discussed. With this information, the clues I was able to glean over the years growing up make much more sense.

To the etymology of "pogrom"... I'm just guessing, but if "grom" is the root, in Russian, the Ukrainian equivalent might sound like "hrym", which is an onomatopoeic word that is something like a slam. I may be guessing, but I think it could be imagined to be this. The "po-" portion can be a common prefix, which indicates some directional movement or at least intentionality, suggesting -- if my other guess is correct -- a progressive movement towards its goal, (vs. "za-" which might suggest 'away from', or "vid-" which might be more a reflexive intentionality. Just a thought.

It was a very interesting lecture, but it was very surface. I think even in the context of Jewish history as a part of the World History there are more questions than answers can be found. I am sorry but you have a lack of context from Ukrainian and Polish history. On my foolish discretion your lecture have a lack of the structure and political realities of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (which was not a girly polish country) and the political whims of the Gentry of that time.
