[History of the Jews in Russia and Poland. Volume II by S.M. Dubnow]@TWC D-Link bookHistory of the Jews in Russia and Poland. Volume II CHAPTER XXIII 6/37
THE VOICE OF ENGLAND AND AMERICA The political protest, which could not be uttered in Russia, was soon to be heard in England.
During the very days on which the Russian Jews were weeping in their synagogues, their English coreligionists, in conjunction with prominent English political leaders, organized indignation meetings to protest against the horrors of Russian Judaeophobia.
Already at an earlier date, shortly after the pogrom of Warsaw, the London _Times_ had published a series of articles under the heading "The Persecutions of the Jews in Russia," containing a heartrending description of the pogroms of 1881 and an account of the anti-Semitic policy of the Russian rulers.
[1] The articles produced a sensation.
Reprinted in the form of a special publication, which in a short time went through three editions, they spread far beyond the confines of England.
