The Felshtin Society began its Oral History Project in October, 2015 in order to better understand how the the events surrounding the pogrom of 1919 may have impacted successive generations. Each video is a first generation’s recollection of the development of their family and how they faced the challenges of acculturation in a new place. The Society’s plan is to study the histories and present significant findings at our centennial memorial to be held in New York, April, 2019.
