Abstract:
The Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee was established in 1942 as a tool to spread propaganda for the Soviet regime, particularly in the West. However, as the only representative Jewish body permitted to function, it also served as an address for the problems of Soviet Jewry, including complaints of antisemitism. The Committee was disbanded in 1948, and most of its members were executed in 1952 by order of Stalin. Pp. 264-291 contain documents recently acquired from the archives of Solomon Mikhoels, who was the chairman of the Committee during World War II, and who was murdered in 1948.
