British Communists Demand Explanation on Soviet Acts

.

LONDON, (JTA)—The Soviet
government was requested here
to give the "fullest explanation"
of the crimes against Jews com-
mitted in the USSR' during the
last few years and to state pub-
licly whether any measures are
being taken to restore Jewish
cultural activities in the USSR.
The demand came from Jew-
ish Communists in England
and was published in the "Jew-
ish Clarion," a Communist pub-
lication. It emphasized that
condemnation of the crimes
against Jews in the Soviet
Union, is not enough. "Our_ re-
sponsibility to ourselves and the
future of our work as Jewish
Communists requires that we
call for the fullest details of
what occurred and the fullest
explanation of how such things
could come about in the land
of Socialism," the publication
asserted.
"We have to ask, moreover,
for full information on the steps
being taken to correct - the
abuses and prevent their recur-
rence;" the Jewish Communist
organ continued. "And there
can hardly be anywhere a Jew-
ish Socialist, Communist, pro-
gressive, or citizen without a
political label, who isn't wait-
ing impatiently to know in par-
ticular what stepS, further than
those already repbrted, are be-
ing taken to restore Jewish cul-
tural activities and institutions
in the Soviet Union."
The Clarion's editorial was

Judge Levin Marks 10th
Anniversary on Bench

prompted by a letter to it from
a leading member of the Com-
munist Party, Prof. • Hyman
Levy, a philosopher and mathe-
matician, who asserted: "If 24
Jewish writers had merely been
imprisoned in the United States,
we would have shouted to the
high heavens about such a
criminal action. When they are
shot in the Soviet Union and the
Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee
is liquidated, all you can tell
us is that it is an abuse arising
from the cult of the individual."
In the history of struggle,
Prof. Levy went on, the 24 Jew-
ish intellectuals who faced the
firing squad are nothing and
another will be produced for
each of them; "But these 24 are
martyrs who have died for the
cause of Socialism, . martyred
on Socialist soil for the right to
Jewish cultural freedom in a
Socialist country," he pointed
out.
He then went on to say:
"We are being fobbed off
with superficial explanations—
cult of the individual and
breaches of the law by the Beria
gang. Are we now to depend
on the good faith of the indi-
viduals who have exposed this
that history won't repeat itself?
"Since it must take some
time for a social atmosphere,
once poisoned,, to clear itself,
the future of SocialiSm cannot
rest securely in- the hands of
individuals. If Soviet la* has
been re:established, are the So-
viet people, and we also, to
have the records of the Beria
trial and the dossier of evi:-
dence?"

LONDON, (JTA)—The Soviet
news agency Tass disseminated
from Moscow the text of a
"message of thanks" by Rabbi
David Hollander, leader of a
delegation sent there by the
Rabbinical Council of America
to the Soviet Union to study
conditions of Jewish life there.
The message was addressed
to Moscow's Chief Rabbi Solo-
mon Shiiefer. It reads, in the
Tass transmission, as follows:
"A thousand thanks to Your
Honor for the great friendship,
assistance and understanding
which you displayed toward us
during our visit to your coun-
try. We ask you to convey to

the leaders of the government
of the splendid land of the
USSR our gratitude for the op-
portunity to visit rabbis, com-
munities and other brother
Jews.
"We were very touched by
the feeling of friendship. and
brotherhood displayed toward
us by all USSR citizens, irre-
spective of their religion and
nationality. We were 'glad to
see that many of the older gen-
eration are faithful to the
Torah, and we ask God that,
before long, many young Jews
would come nearer to our To-
rah. We hope that our visit will
have a favorable effect on mu-
tual understanding between
peoples and the triumph of
peace throughout the world."
(In an article in the Detroit
Times by Rabbi Hollander and
Rabbi Gilbert Klaperman, an-
other member of,the delegation,
the two rabbis declare: "Anti-
Semitism could be dealt a mor-
tal blow if Bulganin and
Khrushchev would commit
themselves against it and com-
municate their views to the man-
in the street and to lower eche-
lons of bureaucratic adminis-
trations. Significantly, the aver-
age Russian citizen was heard
nothing on the subject directly
from the lips of his leaders.")

Release Yiddish Writer
from Siberian Prison

Reports from Warsaw, Poland
tell of the release from a Soviet
prison camp of Moishe Brod-
zerzon, a noted Yiddish lan-
guage poet and dramatist who
was arrested in 1950 and sen-
tenced to 10 years' imprison-
ment on_charges of "Jewish - na-
tionalism."
Back in Warsaw with his
wife, Miriam, a star of the Yid-
dish stage in Poland and Rus-
sia until 1948, Brodzerzon told
of the close of the only Yid--
dish language paper in Moscow
and the closing of the Jewish
theater workshop where he had
worked in 1948.
He was arrested two years
later, interrogated in two pris-
ons for nine months and finally
sent to a camp in Taishet,
Siberia.
Brodzerzon stated that of 85
Jewish literary and theater per-
sonalities in Moscow after the
war, he thought that at least 15
were no longer alive.
Although he did not say how
they died, Brodzerzon said he

knew the following were dead:
David Bergelson, Peretz Mar-
kish, David Hoffstein, Leib
Kwitlo, Haziah Dobroshin, Ben-
jamin Zusskind, Itzek Feffer
and a man known Only as
Nussinov.
Brodzerzon said that he was
arrested and sentenced during
Stalin's regime, but that events
had softened considerably since
that time. His repatriation was
arranged by the Cultural-Social
Association of Jew
_ s in Poland.
Hirsch Smaller, president of
the association, said that ar-
rangements also had been made
for the release of poet Israel
Emjo t.

"Time is now showing con=

trates the new spirit of the
Arab world.
"The Arab blockade of Israel
is maintained and constantly
increased. Arab diplomatic and
military strategy has succeeded
in drawing a steel circle round
Israel to contain her and to ap-

ensure the protection of the

the creation of Israel, but this

Certain circles at the UN are
disturbed that such an out-and-

should be distributed from this
7,6-member world organization.

Egyptian Propaganda Sheet Calls
for Israel's Destruction in 1956

UNITED NATIONS, (AJP)—
In a leading article titled "The
Year of Decision," the Egyptian
Economic and Political Review
—distributed in UN circles by
the Jewish Egyptiani correspon-
dent Simon Malley — called
"1956 a year of decision for the
small artificial foreign state of
Israel -in Palestine.
"$ i n c e 1948," the article
stresses, "it has struggled to im-
pose itself on a hostile world;
it has applied every conceivable
economic and political strate-
gem to negotiate a peace or in-
timidate and bully its Arab
neighbors into granting recog-
nition of its existence." _.
The article in the semi-offi-
cial Egyptian magazine, Which
is widely distributed in the va-
rious university campuses in
the United States, continued to
boast that "Time, far from heal-
ing the _Arab-Israeli sore, has
maintained and made it more
dangerous. The Arabs, at first
weakened and stunned by the
Zionist victories of the 1948
war, were quick to recover.
Eight years later, their spirits
and their resources immeasur-
ably increased, they can now
envisage their conflict with Is-
rael, with a new .confidence in
their leadership and material
force.
