Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST
But it was hardly an important part of the Jewish community at the time.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Emigration was taken over by the Society for Colonization by the Jews, whose creation followed the opposite course, first abroad, then in Russia.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
It was founded in London in 1891 by Baron Moritz von Hirsch, who for the purpose made a donation of two million pounds sterling.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
His idea was the following, to substitute the chaotic emigration of the Jews of Eastern Europe with a well-ordered colonization oriented towards the countries requiring cultivators, and thus to bring back at least part of the Jews to the cultivation of the land, to free them from this anomaly, which arouses the animosity of the European peoples.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
One of the most serious of these was the compulsory conscription.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
If so many young men, it is Denikin who writes it, chose to mutilate themselves, was it not better to emigrate? Especially when we know that conscription simply did not exist in the United States.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
The Jewish authors are silent on this motif, and the Jewish Encyclopedia itself, in the article "The Emigration of the Jews of Russia," does not say a single word of it.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
It is true that this reason does not explain on its own the emigration boom in the '90s.
Matthew Raphael JohnsonGUEST

End quote.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
That reflection on the pre-revolutionary Russia was written in 1927 in the Paris Emigration.
Pete QuiñonesHOST
Some 50 years later, another Jew who lived in Soviet Russia and later emigrated to Israel looked back and wrote, quote, we the Jews who grew up in Russia are a weird cross, the Russian Jews.

[piano music] As the 1870s began, Ireland was continuing to suffer the consequences of the Great Famine.
Ciaran McConnellHOST
Emigration was still widespread, which eased the pressure on the British Parliament to improve the land rights of tenant farmers in Ireland.
Ciaran McConnellHOST
In 1870, legislation known as the Land Act was passed, but it did little to improve the rights of Irish tenant farmers, and it continued to allow hostilities to grow between them and their Anglo landlords, many of whom were absentee landlords.
Ciaran McConnellHOST
Land agents like John Henry Blake became the public face of this system, and they were despised by those they evicted and collected rent from, as they allowed these absentee landlords to hide throughout Britain and avoid ever having to face their tenants.
Ciaran McConnellHOST
Despite farming the land for generations, they had no legal rights to the land, and they could be evicted without reason whenever one of the ruling families saw fit.
Ciaran McConnellHOST
However, things began to change by the late 1870s.
Ciaran McConnellHOST
Emigration had started to reduce, and a new railway system had helped to connect the island.
Ciaran McConnellHOST
But a lesser-known famine, named Gorta Beag, in 1879, brought back stark reminders of the Great Famine for many adults at the time who had been children during the Great Famine.
