English title page: “The Pogroms in the Ukraine in 1919.” Continuation of the work “Antisemitizm un pogromen in Ukraine, 1917-1918” published 1923. A detailed scholarly study of the terrible Ukrainian pogroms in 1919 written by “Elias Tcherikower (1881–1943) , historian of Russian Jewish life and anti-Jewish violence. …The 1919 Bolshevik suppression of Jewish autonomy and the simultaneous wave of violence and mass murder against Ukrainian Jewish communities by nationalist, White, and other forces (‘the Ukrainian pogroms’) strongly shaped Tsherikover’s subsequent scholarly career. He helped compile an essential collection of documents and testimonies on Jewish autonomy and its dissolution (Di idishe oytonomie un der natsyonaler secretariat in Ukraine; 1920) and later edited a related volume of documents and memoirs on revolutionary-era Jewish life, In der tkufe fun revolutsye (Berlin, 1924) . From 1919, Tsherikover devoted himself especially to gathering evidence about pogroms. By the time he left Russia for Berlin via Kovne/Kaunas in 1921, he had compiled a massive archive (now housed at YIVO) . Settling in Berlin, he began a massive scholarly project on pogroms with other Jewish scholars and activists, including Simon Dubnow, Yosef Schechtman, Nokhem Shtif, Jakob Lestschinsky, and N. Gergel. Tsherikover himself wrote two historical studies on pogroms: Antisemitizm un pogromen in Ukraine, 1917–1918 (published in Yiddish and Russian, 1923) and Di Ukrainer pogromen in 1919, published posthumously (1965) . Tsherikover and his archive also played an important role in the 1926–1927 Paris trial of Shalom Schwarzbard. ” (YIVO Encyclopedia; Tsherikover, Elye) .
