Two Revolutionary Jews: Leon Trotsky and Chaim Zhitlowsky
Hosted By: YIVO
The YIVO Institute for Jewish Research presents a lecture on revolutionary Jewish politics, examining the contrasting approaches of Leon Trotsky and Chaim Zhitlowsky. Both figures played key roles in the Russian revolutionary movement and became symbols of the modern Jewish experience, yet they offered radically different answers to the question of whether Jews should pursue collective identity or universalist ideals.
