# The Kishineff Massacre & Domestic Musical Practice in America

Drawing on the resources of the Heskes Collection of Yiddish American Sheet Music and the Historic Sheet Music Collection, Randall Goldberg explored the Jewish American musical responses to the Kishineff Pogrom of 1903 in Russia. With a detailed look at Herman Shapiro's "Kishineff Massacre" and other works, Goldberg's talk contextualizes American artistic contributions following this awful event, which served as a catalyst for Jewish activism in the 20th century. Presented in association with the American Musicological Society.
