Summary[edit]
DescriptionUman Public Library (24675617845).jpg |
English: The city of Uman remains an important location for Jews due largely to its connection to the famed Rabbi Nahman of Bratslav who lived in Uman in the months previous to his death. The Jewish population of Uman was subjected to repeated attacks including several vicious pogroms perpetrated by the White Army in the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution. On April 1, 1919 the Council of People’s Commissars of the Ukrainian SSR issued a decree that transferred control of numerous historical and cultural institutions, including libraries, to the People’s Commissariat of Education. Shortly thereafter the various Ukrainian libraries that had previously been considered “public” libraries (including in Uman) were officially made “state libraries.” That the library stamp for the “Uman Public Library” appears in Yiddish and Ukrainian is testament to the attempt to build a multilingual secular society. Though the city was remembered by many religious Jews as the death place of Rabbi Nahman, the Hasidic movement in the city was repressed due to the antireligious campaigns of 1937. In the lead up to the Second World War there were over 22,000 Jews living in Uman, this population was decimated by the Nazi invasion. Today, Uman is once more an important site for many religious Jews as the city is the site of Rabbi Nahman’s tomb. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. |
