The Jews of Pinsk is the most detailed and comprehensive history of
a single Jewish community in any language. This second portion of
this study focuses on Pinsk's turbulent final sixty years, showing
the reality of life in this important, and in many ways
representative, Eastern European Jewish community. From the 1905
Russian revolution through World War One and the long prologue to
the Holocaust, the sweep of world history and the fate of this
dynamic center of Jewish life were intertwined. Pinsk's role in the
bloody aftermath of World War One is still the subject of scholarly
debates: the murder of 35 Jewish men from Pinsk, many from its
educated elite, provoked the American and British leaders to send
emissaries to Pinsk. Shohet argues that the executions were a
deliberate ploy by the Polish military and government to intimidate
the Jewish population of the new Poland. Despite an increasingly
hostile Polish state, Pinsk's Jews managed to maintain their
community through the 1920s and 30s—until World War Two brought a
grim Soviet interregnum succeeded by the entry of the Nazis on July
4th, 1941. For the first volume of this two-volume collection, see
The Jews of Pinsk, 1506-1880.
