Across Russia’s vast eleven time zones
Church bells toll as the nation evokes the centennial of the horrific
and senseless slaughter of Nicholas II, Tsar of Imperial Russia, his
wife, their five beautiful children, and staff. Dubbed Azrael’s abattoir
the ritualistic and racist nature of their family’s diabolical end is
marked in countless ways in every village and city.
Before the outbreak of the 1914 ~ 1918
war Warsaw shops patronised by the Jewish community furtively sold
greeting cards the message of which would be lost on most Gentiles. Each
greeting card carried the image of the tzadik. This image depicts a
Talmudic Jew with Torah in one hand and a white fowl in the other. The
bird’s head is a facsimile of Imperial Russia’s Tsar Nicholas II. Below
this image is the inscription in Hebrew: “This is a sacrificial animal
so is my cleansing; it will be my replacement and cleansing the victim.”
