The Red Ucranian S S Rs and the Cheka - The Looters Campaign

When the whites advanced into ukraine, they took over the persecution of the jews with a vengeance. Jews were herded into synagogues that were then burned to the ground. Synagogues trashed. Jews taken hostage and shot if families didn't pay a ransom. Families tortured until they handed over everything of value, and then often killed anyway. Death to the yids became as common a rallying cry as death to the bolsheviks. It was absolutely brutal and absolutely horrific.
