Released in December 2019, the film titled 1917 was widely acclaimed and decorated with awards -- including the recent Golden Globes awards for Best Motion Picture Drama and Best Director. Not having seen the film, we will refrain from reviewing the story which is set against the ghastly battlefield of World War I. It's interesting to note that out of the five individual years which encompassed "The Great War" (1914-1918) the filmmakers chose the holy year (for many Jews) of 1917 for its title -- instead of 1914, 1915, 1916 or 1918. Maybe it's just a coincidence -- or maybe it's a message among "their crowd." Who knows?
But the number does offer us a good "teachable moment" ™ for explaining the history-altering significance of 1917 -- a year that was very good for "the usual suspects" (so good that (((they))) made a museum exhibit in its memory) -- yet utterly disastrous for so many millions of "goyim." We now republish a popular Anti-NY Times piece which originally appeared in one of our 2017 issues.

New York Times: Revisiting 1917, a Year That Reverberates for Jews Around the World
REBUTTAL BY
A museum exhibit set to open this weekend at the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia and later this year at the American Jewish Historical Society in New York will focus on three historic events and their impact on Jews (evidently, no else really matters). The exhibit titled, “1917: How One Year Changed the World,” will feature America’s entry into World War I, the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia and the Balfour Declaration.
Though much of what this particular Slimes article tells of these three events is indeed accurate, the deception lies in what is omitted about this sad centennial. Let's dive in and see what we mean.
Two major Jewish museums are teaming up to school their flocks on 1917 --- but their exhibit leaves out a few details.
The Omission: The restrictions were aimed, in large part, at stopping the influx of Anarchists and Communists who had been causing problems in America since the 1880's. And it just so happened (surprise, surprise) that many of these subversive characters were of a certain ethnic group (cough cough).
1 & 2 - 1901: President McKinley was murdered by Leon Czolgosz, an anarchist son of Polish immigrants
3. The lovely and gracious Anarchist guru Emma Goldman (cough cough) from Lithuania (Russian Empire) defended Czolgosz's dirty deed.
Slimes: After the revolution, when the Bolsheviks came to power, and the xenophobia coalesced together and had the power to influence, that fear accelerated.
The Omission: The Bolshevik Revolution was a Jewish affair. With the exception of front man Lenin
