Growth of Antisemitism in the Communist East

Thursday 18.05.2023

Summary

Antisemitism was officially outlawed under communism. Stalin had created a Jewish antifascist committee. The communist bloc voted for partition and Russia was the first nation to give de facto and and de jure recognition to the Jewish State. This presentation will address how this perverted into both antisemitism and anti-zionism.
