The Tragedy of Soviet Jewry

The Nazis hated the Jews and murdered them. The Russian Communists, while professing to abhor ethnic prejudice, systematically killed the Jewish national and religious community. The full dimension of the tragedy of Russian Jewry is only now becoming known. It is a story of a relentless assault on Jewish religious institutions and the bases of Jewish economy, an assault which since 1917 has transformed the world’s largest Jewish community into a demoralized and disoriented people.
