Satan in Goray

The pogrom that swept through Poland was interpreted as a sign of the Coming of the Lord. In the little town of Goray, laid waste by murder and famine, grief becomes joy as good news arrives of the second coming of the Messiah. But such perilously high hopes pave the way to hysteria, and a panic which could threaten the very existence of Goray.

Pogromul care a cuprins Polonia a fost interpretat ca un semn al Venirii Domnului. In oraselul Goray, pustiit de crima si foamete, durerea devine bucurie pe masura ce sosesc vesti bune despre a doua venire a lui Mesia.
