As a Jew, I have read numerous books about the Tsar..This film should never have been made since it does attack Nicholas who i feel
was NOT anti semetic.

I came across this item for sale on ebay.  The ebay item # was 360060567372.  It went for a considerable amount over $600.00 for the photograph.  I was able to copy it and have never seen it before.  Thought I would share it with everyone.  Enjoy

Nicholas II / Re: Nicholas II and Anti-Semitism.

Lisa thank you so very much for your words regarding my posting.  ( I have photographs of Nicholas II which I have purchased over the years and for some reason have been " afraid " to hang them up do to the Romanovs history of anti-semitism.  Note I said Romanovs and not Nicholas (lol)  It is like going into a Jewish home and hanging up a picture of H----r.  It is so very interesting to see that there are indeed a number of Jewish people in this forum.  It definitely makes me feel more comfortable.

Again thank you for your comments, and yes my parents nick named me " TANY " for Nathaniel and I am a Cantor.

Nicholas II / Re: Nicholas II and Anti-Semitism.

As a new member I totally enjoy everything on this forum and thank everyone for their wonderful comments.  I am a Jewish Cantor.  My very dear friend is from Moscow and heads the Moscow Jewish Capella Choir.  They have sung all over the world and are reknown for introducing Jewish Music that was confiscated after the revolution by the "government "  All of this music was put into hiding in Moscow, and when Gorbachov became the new head of Russia the music was found and released to my dear friend and now the choir is brining it back to life, and this has started my interest in Russian history and has led speciafcally to Nicholas II.

I guess what does this have to do with anti-semitism.  Naturally the subject is quite imposing on my interest in Nicholas and Alexandra, and especially as a Cantor in the Jewish Faith I am trying to find other things about them that I can handle.  I think you can see my dilema with this, but I have purchased numerous books on this family and come across occasional ani-semetic actions by the czar, but I am looking at the ENTIRE life of these individuals and hoping to come to some resolution in my own mind.  Does this make any sense?

Thanks again for such a wonderful site.
