No but Herschel reminisces about his wife beating wolves to death for fun. It’s more of a comical moment though.

Herschel is submerged in brine in a lidded vat for 100 years. No shots from the inside, but we see him fall in, see the lid being put on (although without showing him), and see him come out when the lid is taken off.

Herschel and his wife flee from pogroms (in the fictional country of Schlups, which is clearly meant to be in Eastern Europe).

No but the main character is submerged in pickle brine for 100 years. It’s only implied and not graphic at all.
