Kurzfassung:
In July 1920, during the Polish-Soviet War, Professor Israel Friedlaender and Rabbi Bernard Cantor - relief emissaries of the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee - were murdered while traveling on the road from Kamenets-Podolskii to Proskurov, Ukraine. The Jewish leftist press ascribed the murder to anti-Soviet forces, because it would not admit that the Bolsheviks could have committed such a crime. The JDC also did not want to complicate its relationship with Soviet authorities. Jewish historical literature has tended to ascribe the murder to antisemitic Poles or Ukrainians, or to Russian Whites. Proposes a reconstruction of the events: it was the Reds who killed Friedlaender and Cantor, taking them for being spies. Pp. 86-114 contain documents from the investigation that was conducted in 1920-21.
