Cover... Related Items History Autobiography | Jacob H. Janzen was born in 1878 in the village of Steinbach,
Ukraine, He emerged as a leader in the Mennonite communities in his
roles as teacher, pastor, and author. After surviving terrible
hardships following the First World War and the Bolshevik revolution,
Janzen managed to emigrate to Canada with his family, settling in
Waterloo, Ontario in 1924. There he served the Waterloo-Kitchener
United Mennonite Church as pastor until his death in 1950. Written originally in German and published in the Canadian Mennonite journal "Der Bote," Janzen's little book is part confession, part memoir, and part critique of the life he experienced in the Mennonite colonies in the Russia of his youth. Available now for the first time in English, Jacob H Janzen's thoughtful reflections "lift the veil" on a unique period of Mennonite history. | |
| Nester Makhno and the Eichenfeld Massacre: A Civil War Tragedy in a Ukrainian Mennonite Village | View shopping basket | |
| by Harvey L. Dyck, John R. Staples, & John B. Toews, editors | ||
|
paperback, 115 pages, $28.00 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items History | The nighttime massacre of 136 innocent Mennonites at
Eichenfeld/Dubovka (Novopetrovka) on Oct 26 to 27, 1919, and elsewhere
in the Nikolaipole volost during the years 1918-1920, was one of the
numerous atrocities of the Russian revolution and civil war. The
victims were pacifist men, women and children, neither partisans nor
combatants, but peaceful villagers and visiting evangelists. The
horror and insecurity of the times did not permit the dead of
Eichenfeld to be openly mourned. Unwashed, they were hastily buried in
shallow graves before surviving family members and villagers fled into
nearby Mennonite villages. This volume tells the story of the massacre. It includes eyewitness accounts and reminiscences by Mennonites and Ukrainians, as well as an analysis of the origins and roots of the event and reflections on its legacy. Copyright 2004 Pandora Press | |

| None But Saints: The Transformation of Mennonite Life in Russia 1789-1889 | View shopping basket | |
| by James Urry | ||
|
paperback, $50.00 | Add... | |
Cover... Related Items History Cruise | This book has a new introduction by James Urry updating scholarship since the first publication in 1989. This book deals with the first century of Russian Mennonite settlement, and the dynamics of change in Mennonite communities in Russia between 18789 and 1889. It chronicles the establishment in southern Russia of prosperous agrarian colonies, the foundation of religious congregations and the creation of new economic, social, and political institutions. Mennonites in Russia had to face the dual challenge of the emergence of a modern, industrial society and the increasing power of the Russian state. As Mennonites responded to these challenges, and some grew rich and successful, tensions and conflict in their communities increased. This resulted in the division of congregations and communities and the further emigration of many Mennonites to North America. Revised 2007 Pandora Press | |
