Many governments implemented measures regarding migration control due to the influx of migrants who travelled through or wanted to settle in their country. To coordinate the mass migration, as well as providing aid, national and private organisations were established across the world. The arrival of these needy East European Jewish migrants also caused commotion within native Jewish communities. The – assumed – arduous relationship between the ‘ghettoised’, impoverished Jews from Eastern Europe and the emancipated and acculturating Western Jews is the subject of many studies. However, relatively little is known about the reception of East European Jewish migrants by the native Jewish population in the Netherlands between 1881 and 1914. Although far fewer foreigners entered the Netherlands, than, for instance, Germany, England, or France, this still could have had an impact on the Dutch-Jewish communities. One of the first elaborated studies is that of Paul Visser, Broeders en vreemdelingen: Een studie van de opvang van Oost-Europese joodse migranten in Nederland in de jaren 1881- 1933 tegen de achtergrond van het Nederlands-joodse acculturatieproces (1988). His PhD thesis is about the establishment and activities of the aid committees in the Netherlands during 1881 and 1933. A year later, Joël J. Cahen (b. 1945) points to the fact that “the topic of ‘Ost-Jidden-, i.e. Eastern European Jews, has, however, not been studied systematically in the framework of Dutch-Jewish History: it is one of the remaining tasks for historians.” 2 Cahen introduces hereby the essay “Migration versus ‘Species Hollandia Judaica’” of Dan Michman (b. 1947) in a special edition of Studia Rosenthaliana. Michman focuses on the relations that developed between Dutch Jews and East European Jewish migrants as well as with

This required him to manually transfer the computer's data to a separate hard drive, Mac Isaac said, which is how he came to see what some of the files contained. The Armenian prime minister accused Turkey of "transferring terrorist mercenaries" from Syria to Nagorno-Karabakh to fight for Azerbaijan. Trump responded with new attacks against the social media companies, saying in one tweet that it was, "so terrible that Facebook and Twitter took down the story" and claiming the articles were "only the beginning.

  • Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1
    ARTICLES Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine 8 Mečislav BORÁK at the Time of the Great Purge Persecution of the Czech Minority in Ukraine at the Time of the Great Purge1 prof. Mečislav BORÁK Abstract In its introduction, the study recalls the course of Czech emigration to Ukraine and the formation of the local Czech minority from the mid-19th century until the end of 1930s. Afterwards, it depicts the course of political persecution of the Czechs from the civil war to the mid-1930s and mentions the changes in Soviet national policy. It characterizes the course of the Great Purge in the years 1937–1938 on a national scale and its particularities in Ukraine, describes the genesis of the repressive mechanisms and their activities. In this context, it is focused on the NKVD’s national operations and the repression of the Czechs assigned to the Polish NKVD operation in the early spring of 1938. It analyses the illegal executions of more than 660 victims, which was roughly half of all Czechs and Czechoslovak citizens executed for political reasons in the former Soviet Union, both from time and territorial point of view, including the national or social-professional structure of the executed, roughly compared to Moscow. The general conclusions are illustrated on examples of repressive actions and their victims from the Kiev region, especially from Kiev, and Mykolajivka community, not far from the centre of the Vinnycko area, the most famous centre of Czech colonization in eastern Podolia. In detail, it analyses the most repressive action against the Czechs in Ukraine which took place in Zhytomyr where on 28 September 1938, eighty alleged conspirators were shot dead, including seventy-eight Czechs.

    Wandeling 03 door het Jodenkwartier van Amsterdam Uilenburg http://www.dedokwerker.nl/jodenhoek_wandeling03.html Door de ogen van Ben Verzet Lees meer over de Jodenhoek op DEZE PAGINA. Er zijn meerdere manieren om het Jodenkwartier te ontdekken, je kunt vanaf het Centraal Station of bij het Waterlooplein beginnen. Om op één dag alles te bewandelen is te doen maar vermoeiend en je krijgt uiteraard dan slechts wat flarden mee, een museum ingaan is dan bijna niet te doen. Amsterdam was een getto tijdens de oorlog, althans, voor een deel. Onderaan deze pagina staat een stuk met een beschrijving, tevens staan er zeer indrukwekkende foto's in van diverse straten in het Jodenkwartier die door de Duitsers hermetisch van de buitenwereld waren afgesloten. Ik heb drie wandelingen gemaakt omdat alles wat ik het opgespoord om je te laten zien niet op één dag te doen is. Als je loopt vanaf het Centraal Station ga je richting de Schreierstoren/ Gelderse Kade/ de Nieuwmarkt. Je kunt ook de metro nemen, één halte is de Nieuwmarkt, neem uitgang Nieuwmarkt. Nieuwmarkt Als je dus loopt en vanaf het CS naar links gaat ga je bij de Schreierstoren rechts de Gelderse Kade op, aan het eind van het water zie je de Nieuwmarkt al, als je goed oplet zie je dat er water onder de Nieuwmarkt loopt, een leuk weetje. Als je op de Nieuwmarkt staat en je realiseert dat hier ooit markt was die op een gegeven moment verboden werd voor niet-Joden snap je misschien een beetje wat de Duitsers aan hebben gericht. Hier was de Joodse markt met grote hekken er omheen, maar we maken eerst een uitstapje naar de Recht Boomssloot en de Oude Schans.

Er waren weliswaar ministers, maar die waren allereerst aan hem verantwoording verschuldigd. De ministeriële verant- woordelijkheid was dus vooral op de koning gericht. In dit hoofdstuk komt de vraag aan de orde welke plaats de monarchie aan het einde van de negentiende eeuw innam tussen de andere constitutionele machten. Daarbij gaat het vooral om de plaats van de koning binnen de regering en hoe de ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid daardoor werd beïnvloed. Deze verdere ontwikkeling van de ministeriële verantwoordelijkheid wordt geschetst aan de hand van twee gebeurtenissen. De eerste is het debat over het regentschap en de troonopvolging in 1884 nadat de twee kroonprinsen vrij kort na elkaar plotseling waren overleden en koning Willem iii al ernstig tobde met zijn gezondheid. Opeens was in de directe lijn alleen een vrouw als troonopvolger beschikbaar. Omdat Wilhelmina minderjarig was, kwamen de Staten-Generaal bijeen om te zorgen voor een regentschap.

Kholodny Institute of Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine 2 Tereschenkivska Str., Kyiv 01004, Ukraine [email protected] Mosyakin S.L., Shiyan N.M. 2019. Nomenclatural and taxonomic notes on Jacobaea borysthenica (Asteraceae) and some related taxa. Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 76(6): 473–485. Abstract. Following our recent lectotypification (with a specimen from G-DC) of the name Senecio praealtus Bertol. var. borysthenicus DC. validated by de Candolle based on Andrzejowski's and Besser's specimens from Ukraine, we provide here information on additional original specimens of that taxon (KW: Besser and Turczaninow historical collections), which is now recognized as Jacobaea borysthenica (DC.) B.Nord. & Greuter and which was until recently widely accepted as Senecio borysthenicus (DC.) Andrz. ex Czern. (Asteraceae). In particular, there are two isolectotypes in KW collected by Andrzejowski near Kyslyakivka (now Lymany, Mykolayiv Region, Ukraine), as well as some other specimens collected near Zaporizhzhya (Andrzejowski) and in southern Podolia (Besser and/or Andrzejowski). Some related Eastern European taxa of the taxonomically complicated Jacobaea vulgaris Gaertn. (= Senecio jacobaea L.) aggregate and misapplied names are discussed as well. The identity of the name Senecio divaricatus Andrz. (nom. illeg., non L.) is clarified; it is a synonym of Jacobaea borysthenica. It is also confirmed that Senecio podolianus Panigrahi is an illegitimate replacement name for S. borysthenicus. Jacobaea borysthenica seems to be closely related to J. andrzejowskyi (Tzvelev) B.Nord. & Greuter and J.

  • The Last Railway Minister of the Russian Empire in the Era of Emperor Alexander III
    West Bohemian Historical Review XI | 2021 | 1 Apollon Konstantinovich Krivoshein: the last Railway Minister of the Russian Empire in the Era of Emperor Alexander III Oleh Strelko1 – Oleh Pylypchuk2 The aim of the work is the analysis of the professional activity of Apollon Konstantinovich Krivoshein as the Railway Minister of the Russian Empire. The mentioned qualities, which were acquired and developed by A. K. Krivoshein during his career progress towards the post of Minister, allowed him to do many things on the position of Minister. Among his main initiatives and achievements, the following should be noted: beginning and a successful development of an extremely complex construction of the Great Siberian Railway; development of infrastructure of the Institute of Railway Engineers; opening of two railway technical colleges – in Yekaterinoslav and Krasnoyarsk. The career advance of A. K. Krivoshein’s was promoted not only by his personal abilities but also by the family ties and intrigues at the court of Emperor Alexander III. And conversely, during the reign of Nicholas II, A. K. Krivoshein had already become a hostage of circumstances and court intrigues that caused his resignation. [A. K. Kryvoshein; Railway Minister of the Russian Empire; Railway Transport; Trans- Siberian Railway; S. Yu. Witte; Paper Factory] Introduction Alexander III (1845–1894), the penultimate emperor of the Russian Empire, ascended the throne in 1881 after his father, a famous liberal and reformer Alexander II, was assassinated by members of the revolutionary political organization “Narodnaya Volya”.3 In general, Alexander III had been preparing for military service, but after the death of his older brother Nicholas in 1865, he became the heir to the throne.
