Some easily accessible to even you and me, if the price is right of course. Like taking candy from a baby if one is so inclined.

I can only answer for me, Fred...
It's because people that deny the Holocaust, are the same people as the KKK, white supremacists, domestic terrorists, foreign terrorists, the Taliban, ISIS, nationalists... The list is long. They represent everything that is destroying our societies. They are desperately evil and they have an agenda that is devil spawned.
And rightfully so, most sane cultures are ashamed of at least some aspects of their history and don't wish to see it relitigated for all to see.

The Holocaust Chronicles

It’s great that you took the time to do that, Fred - as you’ve discovered, it’s an incredibly complex story of an area with an incredibly turbulent history.
I suspect that lack of assimilation was more a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other …
It can’t have been easy to assimilate into a society that, at various times:
• permitted you to live only in a ghetto - a particular, designated area (the Pale) - unless you converted to the Orthodox church
• banned you from many jobs and professions
• issued racist laws against you (the May laws - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_Laws )
• carried out pogroms against you
• imposed a Jewish quota whereby only 10% of any school or college in the Pale could be Jewish (and 2% in the big cities)
• imposed quota only allowed 5% of doctors in the military to be Jewish
• criminalised Jews who adopted Christian names to blend in: they were forced by law to use their birth name.
• prevented you from holding deeds to property
Not exactly welcoming, I’m sure you’d agree.
I don't know anything about how the Russians regarded the Talmud - any more info? Are you talking about Czarist Russia or post-Revolution?
