"The usual perception of #Soviet #Jewish #literature after #WorldWarII is that there was none. The conversation around the decades after the #Holocaust usually focuses on the #refuseniks and large waves of emigration away from a place with a history of suppressing its Jewish minority.
A new collection of #translated #shortstories by Soviet #Jewishwriters, originally published in the #USSR in #Russian and — mind-blowingly — in #Yiddish, challenges that view. For someone who grew up in #Ukraine and #Russia not knowing much about my roots because my #Jewish grandfather remained silent on the subject of anything Jewish, I read “In the Shadow of the Holocaust” with a thirst I didn’t know I had.
In these 10 #stories by seven authors, Jewish survivors are dealing directly with the ruins of a world that is no more. Unlike their #American counterparts, however, they continue making a life in the proximity of the tragedy, among cemeteries and unmarked ravines."

„This coming Sunday, August 17, at 10:00 a.m., at the Haifa enlistment camp, Yona Roseman, a 19-year-old from Haifa, will refuse to enlist in protest against the #genocide in Gaza, and will probably be tried and sent to prison. Activists from the #Mesarvot network will accompany her outside the draft office in a demonstration.“

2/2 "‘Omdat mijn moeder niet joods is, ben ik dat ook niet en gingen mensen anders naar mij kijken. Langzaam drong het tot mij door dat de gemiddelde joodse Israëliër een demografisch gevaar ziet in Palestijnen en in principe in iedereen die niet-joods is.’

"Het militaire verzet begon een jaar geleden met een groepje van 41 Israëlische reservisten die weigerden om deel te nemen aan de militaire aanval op Rafah in het zuiden van de Gazastrook. Ze vonden dat de aanhoudende oorlog Israëlische gijzelaars en onschuldige burgers in gevaar bracht en riepen op tot diplomatieke onderhandelingen. Het verzet had een sneeuwbaleffect binnen de krijgsmacht."

»"We shoot at everything that moves"
More than a year after October 7, a second hostage deal is a long way off. Some Israeli soldiers are threatening the political leadership with refusal to go to war. Not only to force Israel's government to change course, but also because of misconduct in the army.«

“While #antivaxxers have made the #refuseniks who lost their jobs because of mandates out to be martyrs, they are nothing of the sort. Honestly, should people who don’t believe in science be working in #healthcare?
As B.C’s Dr. Henry has said repeatedly over the years: If you don’t believe in the effectiveness of #vaccines, perhaps you should consider another career.
They made a choice. And that choice had consequences.”

‘You can’t fight your way to peace’: from a 20-year-old Israeli to a 99-year-old Briton, eight conscientious objectors on why they refused to serve in the army
Military service for 18-year-olds is a key Tory election pledge in the UK. But in countries with conscription, opting out comes at a heavy cost – ostracisation, fines and time in prison

"A document detailing a mid-war inventory of its ranks shows that by late May, fewer than 900 soldiers were left in two #battalion tactical groups that, according to Western officials, had departed the brigade's garrison in #Russia with more than 1,400. The brigade's commander was badly wounded. And some of those still being counted as part of the unit were listed as hospitalized, missing or "#refuseniks" unwilling to fight, according to the document,..." 3/
