A small history of killing Jews in Russia, Poland, and Ukraine


 


If you have seen the show, Downton Abbey, there was a little scene where Atticus Aldridge, played by Matt Barber, visited Lady Rose McClare, played by Lily James at her volunteer work at a church. She is helping refugee Russian aristocrats fleeing the Russian Revolution. One of the men, who would turn out important, was told that Aldridge's family was of Russian descent. When the aristocrat heard when the family left, in the 1850s, he said the family was not Russian. They were, but not to the government's wish, as they were Jewish. They were run out because of what was known as the pogroms, the same as in Poland and Ukraine.


Russian Killing


The Jews were constantly under attack by the Russians, trying to take all they had, including their lives. They were not as sadistic as the Germans, but not far off. It became ingrained in their culture, to the point they considered the Jews subhuman. The sad part is, that there were many Jews who were of Russian heritage that did great things, such as Golda Meir. There were pogroms several times, not just in the 1850s, so it showed a concerted effort. During the Communist control, the nation forced everyone to give up religion. If they didn't, they could be sent to reeducation camps, like Canada has now, sent to Siberia, or just killed.


Poland and Ukraine


While Poland and Ukraine had their own pogroms, the major one happened immediately after World War 1. There were 100,000 Jews that would be killed in both nations, though that was nothing new. It was the same throughout history, as the nations were in lock step with the Russians and the Catholic Church on this. The Church had sent Crusaders in the form of the Teutonic Knights, a militaristic monk order like the Templars, to remove all but those who believed as Catholics did. Some say that the main reason was the Jewish support of the Bolsheviks, but history shows differently.


The Jewish faith has endured violence and lies against it for centuries. What is said about the Israeli state is not any different from what was said about them by the Catholic Church, the Nazis, and the aristocrats of northern Slavic lands. Attacking them based on these lies is an interesting choice for supposedly educated people.

House GOP slashes millions in support of criminal aliens and abortions

The House GOP fought to remove questionable pet project funding from the federal budget, which included help for abortions and criminal aliens. This will save millions of taxpayers, which will also prevent voter backlash to members of the GOP who have done nothing when they have done nothing regarding their campaign promises. Some of the places that lost funding will cause an uproar within the LGBT community and their supporters, but it will also cut a bloated budget that is dragging us further into debt. Abortion Locations Congressman Robert Aderholt (Al-4) who is the Chairman of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, listed several of the projects that lost funding. Women and Infants Hospital in Rhode Island was to get $1.8 million and is known for late term abortions. Dartmouth Hitchcock, Nashua in New Hampshire was to receive $650,000 and is also known for late term abortions. These being removed cleared away a lot of the politica...

One of the ways modern healthcare is shaped by insurance

  People need to be aware of the ways that insurance companies shape how doctors treat people, as it affects their personal care. There are multiple terms and groups that people have never heard of that become important to medical practices and getting paid. Some of the ways that insurance makes demands are common sense, which should make people wonder why doctors are doing certain things. At the same time, the demands raise administrative costs for doctors, while shaping how they can be paid. Quick Disclaimer This article is for education purposes, not as a complaint against any of the people mentioned. It is so that people will know about an important part of their lives. Much of the way that this information was gathered for understanding was by getting to talk with someone who has been an insurance quality professional for almost two decades. Some of it can be disturbing to some, while other parts are just a way for people to gain knowledge.  NCQA and HEDIS One of the grou...
