Ukraine's nationalists protest Jewish pilgrimage



Ukraine's nationalists protest Jewish pilgrimage

The protesters shouted "Ukraine for Ukrainians" at Sunday's rally.
Even if you're Ukrainian but also Jewish? That would have surprised my grandparents. . .

Back then of course it wasn't "just" the Ukraine but Russia. Another example of shifting borders and names, and identities attached to both.
