Abstract
‘The Jews who live here, in their new homeland, have taken over more from the Belarusians than the Belarusians have taken from them. The mighty force of the Belarusian land has given a special spiritual and physical appearance to the Belarusian Jews. Now they differ from all other Jews, and throughout the whole world they are called “Litvaks”.’ The Jews of Belarusia Zmitrok Biadula (Minsk 1918)
