Odessa Jewish community mulls emergency evacuation


WW2: the last pictures of the Jews in this Russian community. Europe's Jews have
seen this all before, sadly.

Jerusalem Post    " ‘Future looking very violent,’ fears local rabbi; Jewish community hunkers down, tries to ride out the storm."
 
"Odessa’s Jews are prepared to evacuate should the violence in the western Ukrainian city get significantly worse, several community leaders told The Jerusalem Post on Sunday.
"Odessa’s Jewish community numbers some 30,000, down from nearly 40 percent of the city’s population before the Holocaust." ...

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
