TO A NEW BEGI NNING Part 1 Out of Russia Spring 1903 The alarm I saw that the peddler, the dorfgeher , was in an unusual hurr y– as if he did not care if he sold any of his wares. A strong man, Jacob was in his mid thirties. Never married, he traversed our province of Podolia carrying his large bundle that had assorted straw hats, knives, leather belts and boots, ribbons, linen, tallow, needles, thread, and some reading material, usually the discarded newspaper he had pulled from trash. He would sell anything and everything. If the bu yer did not have money, he would seek an advantageous trade. Jacob was our village’s main connection to the rest of the world. Wherever he called home, he would leave on Sunday with his bundle to return before sundown on Friday. His territory included the homes of the wealthy as well as our village of Turbiv that he visited once a month. Unlike the wealthy , we would welcome him, as he would relate news of the outside world. He was early this month – by two weeks, and from the look on peop le’ s faces, his news was not good. Y elling at an unheard volume, h e blurted out for all to hear, “It’s a pogrom!” He continued, “Peasants in Kishinyov are blaming Jews for the murder of a Christian boy. They have killed or injured hundreds of our people.” He continued after gaining his breath, “The Cossacks will certainly follow with a more complete slaughter.” A pogrom. No sense to ask for a reason, a p ogrom is irrational. The Cossacks, swords in one hand, the reins o f their horses in the other, thunder down on our villages, bu rning our hovels, stealing what they can, raping our wo men and children and k illing the men and boys. They are merciless. Jacob continued. “After the Cossacks pillage and rape, the czar’s army is following. It needs all the canon fodder it can get for the co ming war. Councils will be told their quotas, but it looks like every man will be taken.” Jacob had barely delivered his message when Rachel, ambled into the slaughterhouse. My wife of two years was not hysterical, but winded. Her six months of pregnancy was not noticeable through her loosely fitting dress, but her usual spryness had been reduced. “Meyer you must leave. They will take men like you, to what I do not know.” “If I leave, I will have turned my back on my family and friends. Besides, we have no money . No it is out of the question.” “What good are you dead or in Siberia to either your family or your friends. No one he re will blame you for running. All of them would do the same if the y could…” “If they could, if I could, but they can’t and I can’t.” “You can.” “How? If I run, I will be an outlaw, my family will be punished. Eventually they will catch me. Until they do, I will be con stantly running and hiding. No, I must acce pt my fate.” “Meyer , you can sell our milk cows and get enough gold for you to escape.” Out of Russia, out of the misery that these oppressors have inflicted on my people. The word, escape, came from a distance striking me dumb. I looked wide-eyed, staring into space as if Rachel were not there. As it was, I did not believe I was there either. A moment of complete silence as my mind calculated the guilt against the opportunity that leaving Russia afforded us. Then a smile broke on my face as I once again saw my lovely wife and her serious, but strained expression. I picked her up spun her around. 1 1
