STALIN'S ANTISEMITISM

On August 12, 1952, thirteen Jews were murdered by Stalin’s regime, falsely accused of treason and espionage. Half of these Jews were celebrated Yiddish writers and artists including David Bergelson, David Hofshteyn, Peretz Markish, Itsik Fefer and Benjamin Zuskin.

Ala Zuskin Perelman, daughter of Soviet Yiddish actor, Benjamin was interviewed by Jewish author, Dara Horn. Ala said, "The Soviet Union's treatment of the Jews was worse than Nazi Germany's. Over four generations the Soviet regime forced Jews to participate in and internalise their own humiliation – and in that way they destroyed far more souls. And they never ever paid for it. They never had a Nuremberg. They never acknowledged the evil of what they did. The Nazis were open about what they were doing, but the Soviets pretended.

They lured the Jews in, they baited them with support and recognition, they used them, they tricked them, and then they killed them. It was a trap. And no one knows about it, even now. People know about the Holocaust, but not this. Even here in Israel, people don't know."
