Jewish quarter sacked
The Jewish quarter of Balta is sacked by the bands of the civil war.
Balta had been the emblematic pogrom of the first wave, a generation earlier, the one that had moved Europe. This second episode passes almost unnoticed — not because it is less grave, but because it is lost within a series of several hundred. The sheer scale of the civil war pogroms has caused each one to disappear behind the total.
