Czernowitzers... I wish Timothy Snyder's lecture at Yale was off-topic for us Czernowitzers, but given Putin's war of aggression on Ukraine, which leaves no place unaffected, it is not. I thought that you might find the lectures as interesting as I do, since there is great mention of the Jewish presence and life in Ukraine (see Class 8: "Early Jews of Modern Ukraine“) and the course itself gives great depth to how Ukraine evolved over the centuries:

Modern topics therefore include Russian and Austrian empires; Jewish and Polish urban society; Romanticism and modern nationalism; the Bolshevik Revolution and its Ukrainian counterparts; Soviet modernization and terror; Nazi occupation and the Holocaust; and ethnic cleansing. Finally, contemporary Ukrainian history poses in striking form the question of the functionality and durability of the post-imperial state." Have all a great start into this new week!
