- American Jews in general loathed Nicholas II so much that they threw in with the other side - the Germans and the Austrians. This text, sung to the melody of "Lebn zol Kolumbus," goes on for four verses but I only sang half of it. You can read about it on yiddishpennysongs.com

What a valuable testament to the cruelty of history. As one example,Ann Frank's father had loyally fought for Germany in the First World War,and he pointed this out when arrested.
Did he write that in his daughter's diary?
@@rabbiezekielgoldberg2497 Good point, I can't source that. It seems some German WWI veteranJews were even allowed certain exemptions from the first race laws but not during the full holocaust period.
@@rabbiezekielgoldberg2497 No
Ikr? The whole European, Arab, and Muslim world was butchering Jews for for more than a thousand years and people wonder why the state of Israel is such a necessity. The resemblance to the Pikachu shocked meme is so uncanny its insane. I don’t know how it’s even possible for people to willingly forget how desperate they made Jews to live in a place where their government won’t betray them come Easter or Ramadan. Ultimately, the world can thank themselves for what’s happening in Israel today.
Sorry to turn your comment political btw.
@@rabbiezekielgoldberg2497that makes no sense. You bring yourself dishonor. Sometimes one person’s humor is inappropriate, Please stop.
Yiddish prayer for the Czar: "May G-d protect and keep the Czar far far away!"
I'm remember that from Fiddler on the Roof.
The pro-Central Powers feeling among many Jews could go further. A private in the British Army of Russian Jewish origin defected to the Germans shortly before the Battle of the Somme started in 1916 and told them what he knew. It wasn't much but he knew roughly when the attack would start, though the Germans had other indications. The German file describing what he told them was only found well after WW2.
Ironic that all three empires together with their emperors were history after the war.
Sadly
Three?

@@froreyfire Oh, right

"American Jews in general loathed Nicholas II so much that they threw in with the other side - the Germans and the Austrians." Honestly, fair enough! lmao.
In fairness, this makes even more sense considering that Austria-Hungary was generally a great place (at least for European standards) to be a Jew, while among the Germans lots of Jews were fervent German patriots on the battlefield.
It makes it even more disheartening and horrifying to know that for the Jewish German and Austro-Hungarian veterans, their valor and service to their nations would do nothing to save them from the gnashing, vicious claws of the Nazi monster state and its roving bands of murderers.
@@zvezda4701 Wasn't anti-Semitism extremely widespread in Austria?
@@Meftu Not more than in other countries. In Russia, the Tsar supported pogroms against the Jews and had happily used The Protocols of the Elders of Zion to promote antisemitism and merely quietly stopped using rather than denounce it upon learning it was a fabrication. In France, Alfred Dreyfus had been falsely accused of spying for the Germans, with the connivance of the military. Compared to that, the Habsburg establishment, which had recently emancipated the Jews under its rule, was much preferable.

It sounds like the people who wrote the song might have been from Ukraine, presumably from Galicia (which used to be part of the Austro-Hungarian empire). "Katsap" is, to my knowledge, a Ukrainian slur for Russians.
And yes, given the extreme antisemitism promoted by the Tsarists (most notably the publication of the fake "Protocols of the Learned Elders"), it made sense for the Eastern European Jewish community to root against the Romanov dynasty.
Look up ‘Two Hundred Years Together’ by Solzhenitsyn
I like how the Protocols is done away as a forgery.
While no real conclusive evidence is given for that,….
Yeah right "fake"
@@ashokafulcrum4795 There is pretty solid evidence that the "Protocols" heavily plagiarized a French novel called _'Dialogue in Hell Between Machiavelli and Montesquieu',_ with various passages said by the fictional Machiavelli character also showing up as statements made by the ominous 'Elders' in the Protocols.
@@maxjoechl5663 Have you ever read the Protocols of Zion yourself?
And taken the time to align it with teachings from the Talmud and/or Jewish Encyclopedia?
Cool song. I will be checking out more of this channel
Such a peace loving composer!
They had been relentlessly persecuted by the tsar, but tolerated by his enemies, the Austrians and Germans. Did you expect Jews to like Nicholas II?
Nice singing!
A groysn dank!
“Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
lest the Lord see it and be displeased,
and turn away his anger from him.”

not a kid lol@@Ihni2000. if anything these days people go too long without a reality check, as is apparent by this random christian quote
@@ilayohana3150Boo hoo someone quoted a Jewish proverb on a Jewish music video, you may not be a kid but you sure behave like one lmao.

Чудово ❤
Irony is that Wilhelm II expressed anti-Semitic views
Seems like he didn’t send soldiers to kill and terrorize them, though. They had to take what they could get.
Indeed, but he also awarded the Pour le Merité and the Royal House Order of Hohenzollern to Wilhelm Frankl, a German-Jewish fighter ace.
Sheds some light on the deep roots of Jewish-Russian relations. In particular, it's soooo sweeeet to see Ukrainian ethnic slur "Katsap" when referring to Russians while Jewish pogroms were actually committed mostly by Ukrainians
Ukrainans are Russians
Aided and abetted by the Tsar's Ochrana
I don’t think they’re implying that the Ukrainians are nice to them. It’s just that it was a slur for Russians that these Jews happened to know, so they used it.
Ukrainian Jews would use Ukrainian words obviously
the usage of the slur "katsap" may indicate that the guy who wrote this song originally may have been a ukrainian jew (specifically galician, probably)
Thumbnail depicts something different. Over there, over there...
ehm... what?
Lebn zol Kolombus with different lyrics
Yes, the video points that out at the beginning! Thanks for listening.
It says that in 0:01, Sherlock
The common fate of a catchy tune,secular or temporal, eg Star of the County Down/Lazarus/I heard the voice of Jesus Say, or Danny Boy/You Raise Me Up,.
Ironical that the same people who wrote this song, also killed Czar Nikolai later.
Related, not the same.
I mean, can you blame them? I'm sure many Jews wanted Hitler dead too. Not that Hitler and the Tsar are exactly the same, but to a person who is victimized by racism-based violence day in and out, what exactly would be the difference between someone who actively promotes the racist attacks (Hitler) and someone who basically condones them (the Tsar)?
@@zvezda4701The Tsar didn't order pogroms btw, they literally came naturally from the people. It also says a lot about a group of people that they murder the innocebt children too...and millions of other Russians.
Not the same people exactly. While there were many communist Jews, I don’t think it’s right to conflate these pro-Central Powers Jews with them. Especially since some of the German communists that revolted in 1918 against their own government were also Jews. And obviously not all communists were Jews.
@@capncake8837 Thank you! This needs to be said!
Saint Nicholas II of Russia as he is known in the Orthodox Church
they would canonize a mass murderer.
You know nothing about Nikolai 2 Romanov,So silence please.@@mhroe
@@user-du6vh1dw3j 😂 aww, somebody's angry, do you need your diaper changed?
@@mhroeCouldn't have given a cringier response.
@@user-du6vh1dw3jNicholas wasn't evil he was just stupid
That awkward moment youre an Orthodox Chrisitan with a Jewish ancestor (and Jewish Orthodox Christian convert friends ☦️) and Tsar Nicholas II is a canonized martyr saint with his family.:I The Tsar was not his corrupt government...
Oh no, no, do look into Nicholai's personality, views and policies, you'll find it interesting.
"The Tsar was not his corrupt government" is comical, because he really was. Not only Jews, but a hundred other nations could echo the sentiment of this song.
@@viliussmproductions You better have a peer-reviewed, fact-checked source for such extreme claims, with direct quotations. Where is your evidence for Tsar Nicholas II being bigoted please? His personality was meek and simply put, it is concerning if you don't immediately feel the gentle aura he had just by looking at him.i can look at Ted Bundy and know he was messed up. I can look at St. Porphyrios and know he was like an angel. I look at the last Tsar and feel similarly. So, please present hard evidence with quotations
Orthodox isn't a backround but religion
If i were you i would reconvert to judaism christianity is filthy
@@viliussmproductions seems the antisemitism of his forefathers rubbed off on him :|
Hail Victory.
hell nah we got a fuckin neo-nazi here
