Abstract:
An account by an Israeli historian of his perusal of documents found in the recently opened archives of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee. Describes, in brief, the history of the Committee until its liquidation in 1948, the murder of Mikhoels and the arrest of other leaders, and the trial in 1952. Discusses, especially, the "Crimea-Memorandum" addressed to Stalin in April 1944 which recommends the creation of a Jewish autonomous region in Crimea. Consisting of five pages, the document mentions Jewish suffering and heroism during the war, persistent antisemitism among "capitalist" and "fascist" elements in the population, and the need for an autonomous Jewish region (pointing to reasons why the Birobidzhan enterprise failed). The Committee's leaders believed that Russian Jewry was the only remaining nucleus of the Jewish people, and that they would determine the future of world Jewry.
