What was Trotskyâ€™s childhood like?
â€¢ Raised in Southern Russia / Ukraine not in Pale
â€¢ Father was a very successful farmer
â€¢ Claimed that his parent did not peak Yiddish
â€¢ Attended a Cheder for 3 months
â€¢ No emotional connection to Jewish people & religion
â€¢ Driven by fanatical belief in revolution
â€¢ But, visceral reaction to physical attacks on Jews
