The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-02-11
| | |

The real general attack which
Gen Yanushkevitch devised against
the Jewish population was made not
in Kovno itself but in the province
of Kovno. This region has, with
few exceptions, no railroads and for
this reason it has always seemed to
the General Staff admirably adapted
for these purposes, as far as the Jews
are concerned. The enemy" that
is, the Jewish population of the
province Of Kovno, would not be
able to get together and offer united
resistance 1t would be compar-
atively easy to overcome them and
reduce them to utter ruin.
From the whole country to Shawl,
from the region about Wilkomir,
where deathlike silence reigned,
and from the entire group Of Jew
ish towns, suddenly, without the
slightest warning, bands of from ten
to fifteen thousand Jews began to
be driven out. With very few ex-
ceptions these bands, old and young,
men and women, sick and sound,
were forced to flee on foot. All
along the roads and hi ghways stood
. Cossacks and soldiers, who beat and
tortured the refugees mercilessly.
The unfortunate fate of the Jewish
women | shall not attempt to pic
ture here.
In order to render the condition
of the exiled population more critic
al and in order to give the hordes of
officers and soldiers complete liber-
ty, the higher authorities issued a
command ordering the refugees to
be forbidden to approach within six
versts of the railroad lines and the
highways used by the soldiers. Since
the soldiers pass over all the high
ways there was nothing left for the
Jews to do but to flee along desert
ed and waste bypaths through woods
and scattered villages. And there
scenes were enacted which beggar
description-even the ordinary "real
Russian style" displayed in the
Kishineff and Odessa pogroms be-
comes chi1d's play by comparison.
The American Jewish world. [volume] (Minneapolis ;) 1915-current, 1916-02-11
THE RUSSIAN INFERNO
What actually Happening in Russia Described by Special
Investigator

l shall only attempt here to de-
scribe one of the many incidents
which have been investigated and
ascertained
There is in the region | am de-
scribing a town called Sredniki and
near by, about ten or twelve versts
distant, town called Armenishki.
When the Germans made their adj
vance upon the northwestern region
they captured the town Sredniki.
But it did not remain in their hands
very long. Russian soldiers soon
recaptured it,
1t has been definitely established
today that while the Germans were
in this town the whole Jewish popu-
lation did not venture upon the
streets. The artillery Numbered
and people were too terror stricken
to leave their shelter. When the
erstwhile defeated Russian soldiers
forced their way into the town
again they arrested the whole Jew
ish population No one knew or I'm
derstood what this misfortune
meant, but they were not long left
in ignorance. The soldiers fell up
on the Jews and began to beat them
with knouts and guns, crying:
'Traitors! You are traitors! For
the friendship you showed toward
the Germans when they were here
you will all soon be shot,
The Jews soon realized that the
soldiers savage brutality would not
be satisfied with less than their

they waited for the command Of
their superior officer. But he did
not show any haste. Why indeed
should he hurry? Nineteen Jews
would be killed at one time at
single command. He could afford
to prolong their suspense.
In such a condition the nineteen
Jews remained for several hours.
Then the officer decided upon an
other course. The Jews should not
be shot SO soon. They should be
ordered to run-not to march, but
to run-to the town Of Armenishki.
The soldiers began to beat them

was left lying in a ditch while the
others were driven on.
