Title: The crime of the new century
Creator(s): Davenport, Homer, 1867-1912, artist
Date Created/Published: [1903?]
Summary: Cartoon shows the figure of a young woman, wearing a dress decorated with stars and a sash labeled 'Columbia,' rebuking Czar Nicholas II of Russia, who appears embarrassed and dismayed. A poster shows several skulls and bones and reads 'Kishenef -- Massacre of 400 Jews -- 700 Jewish Homes Looted -- Dead Left Bleeding in the Streets. Tirospol -- General Slaughter of Jews -- Young and Old Killed and Wounded.' The cartoon also contains circles meant to hold photographs, marked 'Ida Schoenfeld, Lizzie Kass, [and] Mininia Magskewsky[?]' Jews in Imperial Russia were subject to pograms or massacres in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Especially brutal were massacres in 1903 in Kishinev and Tirospol, now part of Moldova. They aroused widespread indignation in the United States. A petition signed by thousands of people in the United States was sent by the United States government to the Czar, but the Russian government refused to receive it.
