The fourth lecture today by this “Silver-tongued” professor on Jewish history. They are all very compact and tailored. He had only 5-10 minutes to cover the Holocaust but he did a great job. Despite all my reading and study about WW2 I still garnered a number of new facts! I think that there are a couple more talks to listen to in this playlist. Thanks for putting this together and sharing it with us!
Your course, should be taught in every school. Education, rational and logical understanding of history will help us move forward in the terrible Arab-Isreal conflict. A war that needs an end
hello from Australia , great lectures . Funny and informative , keep up the good work ;)
Yet another wonderful lecture. Perfect delivery of the opening joke!
At 29:30 the picture of Hitler was not taken on Alexanderplatz (which is in Berlin), but on the Odeonsplatz in front of the Feldherrenhalle and Theatinerkirche in Munich.
Excellent series thank you so much. I learned so much, not only about Jewish history, but also about the three great religions , and I especially liked the Grandmother, Daughter, Granddaughter analogy ❤
Listened to all. Awesome work
Loved the summary!!! We live because He Chose us to live! And to serve and glorify Him!!! Shalom brother! Loved all 4 lectures! Can't wait to hear more!
Very informative lecture, especially, on the Ukrainian issue. No one else with exception of some Ukrainian Jewish historians explored it in this detail. Back in Ukraine when I was a very young member of Betar, I met Ukrainian Jewish historian named Marten Feller, who did a great research to explore relations between Jews and Ukrainians at that time, as well as dialogues between Jabotinsky and Petlura, which suggest that, perhaps, Petlura was not as anti Semitic as he is portrayed in Jewish world.
Petlyura was not originally an antisemite. However, by 1919 he became an antisemite. The Red Army under Trotsky and the Bordeaux Army under Nestor Makhno prosecuted their troops for murder of Jews and marauding of Jewish property, Petlyura hardly ever did. When asked why, he responded, "I don't want to be alienated from my army."
Jabotinsky supported Petlyura before 1919, and Petlyura's turnaround was a bitter pill he had to swallow.
My great grandfather was murdered by Petlyura's people in the village of Germanovka in Ukraine.
I am truly glad I found your posts. Thank you.
I did not notice your recommendation and link to the Jewish History Lab series the first time I watched these 5 lectures...so I shall investigate that later. Thank you.
This is fantastic
53:50 "The problem with a one-state solution is that it either has to lose its Jewish character by giving the vote to all these occupied residents in the region of Gaza and so on, or it has to give up its democratic character by expelling them. Which is really vast contradiction to much of international law."
A dialogue between French Prime-Minister George Clemenceau and US President Woodrow Wilson at the Versailles Peace Conference, at dinner:
-- Clemenceau, "Mr. President, do you see that chicken on your plate?"
-- Wilson, "Yes, what about it?"
-- Clemenceau, "It believed in international law."
In 1755-1764, about 10, 000 French-speaking people from some British colonies (now East Canada) to other locations, eventually ending up in Louisiana. About half of them died. Does any involved country -- Britain, Canada, USA -- not have a democratic character? Germany expelled loads of people in mid-20th century, and then other countries (Poland, Czechoslovakia, etc.) expelled loads of Germans. About two million died. Today, Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia are democracies. I can go on and on about this.
International law exists only for fried chickens. And Jews.
Bring it on Doc !!! Thank you Sir, for all your really great lectures !!!!!
...and your jokes.
For the modern era: Why did you fail to mention Chabad's breathtaking influence on the rebirth of Judaism? In our Chabad, which we joined 15 years ago, almost everyone grew up secular or Jewish-light. Many now give huge dollars to the Chabad community and live a more observant life......otherwise love the series and the jokes!
Thank you! ❤️
Henry Abramson back to you!
Thank you kindly Dr. Abramson for the lectures. I just joined and look forward to enjoying more content. I do not have a jewish background but everything is very welcoming and informative. I love your jokes! Also anything that you have said about the Russian Revolution as well as Islamic history has been fascinating. I wonder if you would do something on the flourishing Yiddish culture in Ukraine and more on Islamic/Jewish convergence. Thanks a million!!!
Welcome! Here's a playlist you might find useful. th-cam.com/play/PLdiAQwLyKa8JvIE5q9-IvVY9t1So7rpd7.html
@@HenryAbramsonPhD Wow that is very nice of you, thank you so much Dr. Abramson. I will work through these and take down my notes and thoughts. Your videos are such a great addition to my study repertoire.
Thank you, informative!
Glad it was helpful!
I have no real connection to, or knowledge of, jewish culture or history and this was absolutely fascinating for me. Thank you for giving such a concise a densely packed crash course
Glad you found it useful!
This is the real deal.
Also, here's an idea, how about making another episode on the future of jews across the World, or perhaps just Israel? Episode 5, the remainder of the 21st century?
extremely informative
Glad you liked it
Excellent! Thank you for these amazing videos! 🙏🏼 (we LOVE the jokes:)
Glad you like them!
Thank you for being a Public Subscriber!
Spell binding ! Great jokes!
Thoroughly attention hold through out.
Thank you . I feel better aquainted with so much information about which I was for merly completely unaware. And what little I sort of knew has a contextual frame.
May the human family learn to be a good relative and see the beauty of life in all living things.
May we make peace, teach peace and enjoy the fleeting lifetime given in peace.
Hi Professor, for an aspiring historian, is there a historiography primer you recommend? thanks,
I am more familiar with discipline-specific texts, but I seem to recall enjoying E.H. Carr's "What is History?" quite a bit. It's out of date, not much on the postmodern period, but I would probably start there.
Shalom Rabbi Henry Abramson my name is Antonio Garza and I've been doing a little research on my last name and I found a some information on Wikipedia my father is from Nuevo Leon which raises curiosity if I am from Jewish descent myself plus Garza is originally from Spain where these Jews migrated from and settled in Parts Nuevo Leon, is there anyway you would know how to get more information on this have you done any research possibly?Garza is a Galician and Basque surnameand the Spanish language equivalent of heron (bird). Garza has also become a part of many placenames. Garza was thesurname of many Sephardic Jews that settled in Monterrey, Nuevo León, and thename is still found in many famous people from that Mexican state.
I do not think we are born evil but I do believe every human does have the capacity to do evil.
Another great lecture, dynamic and informative. Thanks
You're very welcome!
Hi Dr Abraham, have you any insight into the jews that lived in Glasgow Scotland from the 20s through to the 60s, its a great read!
Is there a lecture about Judah Alkalai ?
I'm pretty interested about him so I hope... Thanks Doc.
I just finished this series in 1 day and now I feel like I am the smartest man alive
Dr. Abramson. I'll in future keep my posts much simpler. Thank You.
No problem.
Brilliant! Thank you so much, very inspiring, (love the jokes)! God bless you and your house!!!More lectures please...
Wow! Magnificent survey and incredibly complex introduction for a goi! So much more to learn. This last installment was the hardest to listen to, but also the most important. I saw “Verboten” when I was twelve and “Night and Fog” as an adult. And that was only a superficial glimpse into the horrors of the Holocaust. As a teenager living in France in the early 60’s, I remember the topic of the this dark period coming up frequently in the news. I finally realized that it was from a sense of communal guilt, even if it was twenty years later. Now it looks like Christianity is being targeted. Do we have the cohesiveness and sense of commitment to Christian values (evolving from early Judaism) to be resilient, resourceful, and renewing? Or is God punishing us for our role in repression and slow extermination across the centuries? Hopefully there’s a more positive answer, like in the thirteen types of forgiveness!
Odd that your graph at the end forms the sign of the early Jewish-Christians.
Thanks for sharing. Keep up the gr8 work.
Thanks for watching!
😉
Tough subject to speed through. Didn't know about the reservation in Russia made so close to authentic Chinese food lol.
Dear Dr. Abramson, I am not Jewish (however Jacob Henry of the NC start legislature is an ancestor of mine). I have followed your three history lectures (and one concerning Paul). My question is, the complex history within the world Jewish community, with much of it spent on microscopic details of conformance to evolving Jewish religious law and tradition (like they”carry” guidance on Sabbath that you described), what is the thing or theme that ties these intricate yeshiva type discussions back to the “Father’s” of Judaism?) How does one see all these trees, plants, and microscopic details and maintain contact with the forest ? Isn’t it extremely confusing and distracting for the person simply trying to have a relationship with God ?
Thank you, Charlie
Zechariah 10:8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
greetings from Poland!
Greetings!
I wondered about our modern history, and then.I found this lecture. Thankyou!
You are most welcome!
I love your biographical videos on Jewish figures. If you’d consider one on the megale amukos, would appreciate that
"Seeing what they could get away with" is chilling.
Great lecture!
Thank you!
You seriously need to get your lectures organized. I’m not wasting my time doing it.
Ok, see you later.
Thank you very much! Your Heavenly Father does indeed love you and has preserved you despite all your adversaries. Some muppet will probably try to destroy you again, but you will be the last ones standing.
Henry my mother’s side of our family is named Simon we come from Bohemia and settled in Wisconsin so I’m sure we are Jewish, but never was told it even my Grandparents deny that we are Jewish, my Grand mother’s last name is Koepsel and I looked it up and is a surename of Jacob do you know anything or have information as to why we grew up Catholic but I know we circumcise males in our family but was told that Catholics also Circumcise, I’m curious if you have any input. Thank you Nick
Great overview. Now I need to look at the details a bit more. BTW could I ask Americans to stop referring to the United Kingdom (or even Great Britain is you're referring to just the mainland) as "England". Wales and Scotland were bombed by Hitler during the war too!
Good point
I see Yaniv Sides השׁלוֹם עליו sitting in the audience 😢
Lots of nice people attended
apologies,.....he has now stopped and is paying attention.........
Thank you all four episodes very informative. You did not touch the rationale of Holocaust from Hitler alike perspective.
Not sure I understand your comment.
Both of my grandfathers were non religious Jews. I choose as a teenager to attend a Traditional synagogue and do my best to live by the commandments of the Torah. I loved that period of my life, but ultimately after several years when the topic of converting came up i decided not to. I was a believer in Jesus and eventually chose to explore the Christian world. I am now a convert to Orthodox Christianity, but to this day the foundation of studying the Torah, following the yearly Torah reading cycle with my wife and children, having morning/mid day/evening prayer, teaching my children to read in Hebrew and many other religious aspects of Jewish tradition that I experienced as a teenager have been extremely meaningful and unparalleled in their influence on my life. I am a follower of Jesus and an Orthodox Christian, but I owe a great debt to Orthodox Judaism for helping me get there.
You need Tovia Singer. He has discussions and answers questions on youtube. Take care.

Orthodox Christianity is full of anti-Judaism and antisemitism.
The german pronunciation was off here and there but a really great lecture. When I was a kid in Germany in the 80's we had the Holocaust as a topic in history in school every other year. Never again was a mantra that I was sure was true. Really shocking that Anti-semitism is such a horrendous problem amongst muslim immigrants in Germany. I feel ashamed for that.
Thanks again for your lecture.
Glad you found it useful
Ik yes

?
Great series ! Thank you !
( And I am sure you uncharacteristically missed the chance for a great joke... the graph near then end looks like a fish - you could of hence blamed the Christians 😂)
It's amazing that a historian doesn't even talk in depth about the Mizrahi Jews.
Crash course in Ashkenazi Jewish History for the most part if you put aside the ancient Israel period.
You basically dismiss Arab pogroms against Jews but never even talk in any sort of depth about the history of Jews living in Arab countries, only in broad strokes do you even mention them. Not a single important figure came to your mind beyond Rambam?
This blind spot leads you to think of Arab Jewish relations as overall good. Jews were just as much humiliated and slaughtered in Arab countries, and you calling Arabs "indigenous" to Israel is a proper falsehood since that word relates to people who originate from that area (such as, you know, Jews - who came from Judea).
Very efficiently informative, but offensively biased towards orthodox non-assimilating Jews.
Sorry you are offended. Not sure why.
I am so distracted by this late-arriving dark-haired rude man who has been clearly looking at his phone throughout the lecture. Am writing this so he will hopefully be aware that he was seen and judged byall viewers. Sorry if his wife was giving birth at the time.
I really enjoy your lectures, but can I suggest not using the phrase "new world"?
Columbus discovered....the new world.
@@duckvenom we were here first
The Jewish people are the indigenous people of Israel. You should clarify that as towards the end what you said was misleading and inaccurate. You made mention of “ Palestinians “ as a people..? Really..?! Weren’t Jews In Israel decades ago called Palestinians
Moses, a killer?
Great information. But is still somewhat oversimplified, one man's perspective..
The Zionists movement itself, has people with many different opinions and beliefs, that's part of the reason for it's success. Zionism although the majority of its leaders are not religious Zionists have managed to basically hijack the religion.
The pogroms were terrible for all Jews in Ukraine, but Zionists and others groups managed to milk the pogroms for their benefit depicting themselves as victim and hero.
What was the relationship like between the French and Ukraine (Russia) during Shvartzberg trial? That may be the reason he wasn't convicted?
Zionism didn't hijack Judaism, Judaism has been Zionist since its inception. It's literally the endpoint of the Torah. Political Zionism effectively utilized the fact that Zionism is integral to Judaism because it was led by, you guessed it, Jews. Whether or not the leaders themselves were religious in practice, they mostly had some degree of religious knowledge or background.
@@sim3onbk2 Herzl did not envision the Jewish inhabitants of the state as being religious. Most of the power was in the hands of people that were not following the Torah. Non religious Zionist leaders represent themselves to the world as the spokesmen of the religion . You can look up what the Zionist leaders have written about the religion.
