An-sky's 1915 diary -- 1. Winter 1915 : Galicia -- 2. Fall 1915 : Petrograd. 330 $aS. An-sky was by the time of the First World War a well-known writer, a longtime revolutionary, and an ethnographer who pioneered the collection of Jewish folklore in Russia's Pale of Settlement. In 1915, An-sky took on the assignment of providing aid and relief to Jewish civilians trapped under Russian military occupation in Galicia. As he made his way through the shtetls there, close to the Austrian frontlines, he kept a diary of his encounters and impressions, written in Russian. His diary entries present a detailed reflection of his daily experiences. He describes conversations with wounded soldiers in hospitals, fellow Russian and Jewish aid workers, Russian military and civilian authorities, and Jewish civilians in Galicia and parts of the Pale. Although most of his diaries were lost, two fragments survived and are preserved in the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art. Translated and annotated here by Polly Zavadivker, these fragments convey An-sky's vivid firsthand descriptions of civilian and military life in wartime. He recorded the brutality and violence against the civilian population, the complexities of interethnic relations, the practices and limitations of philanthropy and medical care, Russification policies, and antisemitism. In the late 1910s, An-sky used his diaries as raw material for a lengthy memoir in Yiddish published under the title The Destruction of Galicia. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zRussia$zSaint Petersburg 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGalicia (Poland and Ukraine) 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, Russian 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$vPersonal narratives, Jewish 606 $aJews$zRussia$vDiaries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aJews 676 $a940.403 700 $aAn-Ski$b S.$f1863-1920,$0894354 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511312703321 996 $a1915 Diary of S.
