Husiatyn (Hasidic dynasty): what Wikipedia removed

Husiatyn is a Ukrainian Hasidic dynasty whose founder had visions of what would befall the Jewish people. Through 2010 the opening said that as a result of the increased anti-Semitism he had witnessed, including being a victim of stone throwers on a Viennese street, he had these visions. Today the opening is two sentences naming the dynasty’s founder and location, and the word does not appear there, though it survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader arriving now learns where the dynasty is located and not that its founder’s warnings were tied to his own experience of antisemitic violence.

The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2010. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
