Available for the first time in English, The Drama of Slavuta draws
on Jewish sources and official Tsarist government archives in
providing insight into the shutdown of a major nineteenth-century
Jewish printing establishment during the reign of Tsar Nicholas I
(1825-1855), when the persecution of Jews and suppression of Jewish
culture reached unprecedented heights in Russia. The eminent
historian Saul M. Ginsburg, who authored the original manuscript,
successfully weaves an account of the persecution of the printing
establishment's Hasidic owners, the Brothers Shapiro, into the
larger scheme of official persecution of all Jews and thereby
provides chilling insight into contemporary Russian attitudes
towards Jews and Jewish culture. Contents: Volhynia Gubernia;
Accusations Continue; The War Against Hasidism; "Yore-Deah"; Yakob
Lipps; Forced Testimonies; The Imperial Decree; The Ushitza Story;
The Military Commission's Verdict; "So Shall It Be"; "Araktsh
Stones"; Moral Victors.
