1903: JEWISH MASSACRE AT KISHINEFF, RUSSIA

From the "JEWISH" folder in the Hamilton Township Public Library's Local History Collection, these graphics detailing the little known Kishineff massacre that took place back in the spring of 1903. Like the victims of the Holocaust during World War II, these victims' only crime was being born Jewish. Antisemitism has been with us throughout history and unfortunately will always be a part of life.

There were zionist training farms in our area..hightstown and cream ridge...even before there was an Israel. the early zionists planned ahead and wanted farmers for the country they dreamed of creating. Albert Einstein visited the hightstown one once. A nice part of local history:)
