Kurzfassung:
Analyzes the reasons for Ukrainian hostility toward Jews in the 17th-18th centuries. Contends that the main cause was competition in trades and crafts, and the fact that Polish kings and proprietors of towns leased to the Jews the task of collecting the income from their estates, customs and other goods. Jewish "arendars" were also used by the nobility to crush peasant revolts. The peasants' hatred of Jews led to pogroms and to attacks against the Polish nobles. Relates to pogroms between 1591-1638, in which probably a few thousand Jews and Poles were killed. The Chmielnicki pogroms, which began in 1648, are better documented. States that many more Jews were killed between 1667-99, during the wars of Poland with the Cossacks, Tatars, and Turks. Surveys, as well, wars, revolts, and pogroms in the 18th century. Concludes that Polish, Jewish, and Ukrainian historiography differ in interpretation of these events, and that there is not enough research on Ukrainian-Jewish relations in this period.
