Historical additions to Magocsi’s article

More

Dear Editor:

I enjoyed Prof. Paul R. Magocsi’s excellent article on anti-Semitism in Ukraine (October 6). I would like to add two tidbits of Ukrainian history that are rarely mentioned. The Central Rada founded in 1917 consisted of 822 deputies. Of these, 35 were from Jewish Socialist Parties.

Also, Ukrainian currency at this time included Hebrew on its face, as seen in this photo.
