As a Jewish soldier he faced endemic antisemitism from the Austro-Hungarian officers. The Eastern Front was relatively fluid and even civilians were caught up in the fighting. Ironically, the Russian abuse of the Jewish populations was so brutal that they looked upon the Austro-Hungarians as saviors. Hameiri writes of the violence against Jews at this time that easily surpassed the earlier pogroms of the 1880s and 1903-1906. Caught in the cross-fire of civil war, Jews in Ukraine suffered organized slaughter and carnage from soldiers and civilians of multiple factions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Peter Appelbaum's vivid and robust translation finds a compelling English voice for these dispatches from a time and place where terrifying chaos inspired stories filled with 'Jewish laughter...basted with tears.'\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoyd Tonkin, Former Literary Editor of\u003cem\u003e The Independent \u003c\/em\u003e- Author of The 100 Best Novels in Translation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f5129;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvigdor Hameiri was a Hebrew poet (the first Poet Laureate of Israel), novelist, editor and translator.

As a Jewish soldier he faced endemic antisemitism from the Austro-Hungarian officers. The Eastern Front was relatively fluid and even civilians were caught up in the fighting. Ironically, the Russian abuse of the Jewish populations was so brutal that they looked upon the Austro-Hungarians as saviors. Hameiri writes of the violence against Jews at this time that easily surpassed the earlier pogroms of the 1880s and 1903-1906. Caught in the cross-fire of civil war, Jews in Ukraine suffered organized slaughter and carnage from soldiers and civilians of multiple factions. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Peter Appelbaum's vivid and robust translation finds a compelling English voice for these dispatches from a time and place where terrifying chaos inspired stories filled with 'Jewish laughter...basted with tears.'\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBoyd Tonkin, Former Literary Editor of\u003cem\u003e The Independent \u003c\/em\u003e- Author of The 100 Best Novels in Translation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #1f5129;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvigdor Hameiri was a Hebrew poet (the first Poet Laureate of Israel), novelist, editor and translator.
