| Summary: | Deals mainly with antisemitism in the USSR. States that the Soviet leadership was openly anti-Zionist from the outset, but only covertly antisemitic until 1948, when the Stalinist purges began. During and after World War II, the plight of the Jews in the USSR and elsewhere was simply not mentioned by Soviet leaders. After 1948, however, officialy-sanctioned antisemitism led to the Slánský trial and the "Doctors' Plot" of 1952-53. Discusses the trials and the anti-Jewish propaganda which became popular at the time and continued after Stalin's death. Discusses, also, anti-Zionism as a cover for antisemitism in Arab countries, France, and Poland, focusing on anti-Zionist propaganda with antisemitic overtones.
