Fiddler on the Truth

Puts the story of Tevye and his five daughters in its geopolitical context of the 1905 Pale of Settlement. Was Lazar Wolf, the wealthy butcher, really Lazar Kaganovich, Wolf of the Kremlin and butcher of Ukraine in the Holodomor? The second daughter marries a Marxist and I look at the Bolsheviks and the Red Terror as Tevye's revenge. The third daughter is 'dead to him' because she assimilates by marrying a Russian. I turn that logic around for who is excluding who. Is Palestine the new Holodomor or hunger extermination?
