BAUSTELLE
AGAIN?
Will Centre «Heritage» be like that? Armed with a theatre, cafe and «entertaining enterprises»?! Not «nearby», but within Babiy Yar proper, right on the place of shootings!

ABOUT THE FUTURE
There yet exists a huge unused local potential. Until we create decent conditions for businessmen-Jews they will not arrive in the community.
AHAD HA-AM -
ONE OF THE PEOPLE
Ahad ha-Am used to assert that creation of a Jewish state would not change material status of Jews. He saw a real basis for Zionism only in spiritual needs of the people.

ALEXANDER NAIMAN

Pogroms of 1881 and the situation around them changed world outlook of many Jewish educators (maskilim). L.Pinsker, M.Lilienlbum, P.Smolensky and other known proponents of emancipation of Jews through their introduction to the European culture came out for the creation of a Jewish state. Their opponent Asher Tsvi Gintsberg (1856-1927), who wrote under the pseudonym "Ahad ha-Am", came into literature at that very time.
