Report on 'Black Days' for
Russian Jewry in Stalin Regime
LONDON (JTA) — An auth-
oritative report on the persecu-
tion of Jewish cultural leaders
and the firing of Jews from
important posts in the Soviet
Union during the 1949-52 period
is published in the current issue
of the British Communist jour-
nal "World News."
The article was written by
Prof. Hyman Levy, scientist,
philosopher and Marxist, who
investigated charges of mis-
treatment of Jews in the USSR
when he visited that country
last October.
Prof. Levy reported that Rus-
sian Jews regard the years from
1'949 to 1952 as the "black
years" in which many Jews
were dismissed from their jobs,
Jewish poets and writers ar-
rested, charged with treason
and executed, and Yiddish dis-
appeared from the street and
market place. The Jewish popu-
lation became tense and ner-
vous Prof. Levy declared. ,
Reporting that he found dif-
ficulty in contacting "special
people" whom he had wanted
to interview on this subject,
Prof. Levy said that he found
such testimony unnecessary
since individual Jews gave him
all the information he needed.
Relatives of cultural workers
who had been liquidated ex-
plained the procedure that was
followed in those years.
"Shortly after his arrest,"
Prof. Levy wrote, "the imme-
diate relatives of the arrested
man would be deported to some
distant place and there set to
work and often at low wages.

Finally the husband would be
shot, perhaps after torture to
try to force him to confess or
incriminate others. In' this way,
practically the whole of the
Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee
was liquidated," Prof. Levy
charged, "and this procedure
was carried through by the
secret police under the direct
authority of (Lavrenti) Beria
and with the agreement of Sta-
lin himself."

DETROIT JEWISH NEWS — Friday, January 25, 1957
veyed "had agreed to screen out
Jews when referring applicants
to prospective employers," the
data showed. The single agency
that had refused to discriminate
against Jewish job applicants is
Jewish-owned. The same situa-
tion exists in Denver, where 45
out of 46 employment agencies,
including public agencies, had
agreed to service a request for
a secretary with applicants who
were "white Protestant."
The report commended the
President's Committee on Gov-
ernment Contracts, "as a strong
new force in combating job dis-
crimination." But it pointed out
that many firms practicing em-
ploy'ment discrimination held
federal government contracts
and were "violating their con-
tractual pledge not to discrim-
inate because of race, religion
or national origin."
NEW YORK (JTA) — Reli-
gious bias still keeps "white
collar" workers out of jobs "on
all levels, from clerical to pro-
fessional," according to a five-
year survey of six major areas
made by the Anti-Defamation
League. of Bnai. Brith. -
The report, detailing prejudi-
cial hiring practices in Chicago,
Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Denver, Pennsylvania and
among the college placement
bureaus of the Midwest, was
made public by Henry Edward
Schultz, national chairman of
the League. About 18 percent of
20,000 "white collar" job va-
cancies listed for filling in Chi-
cago in the last six months
barred Jews from consideration
for those openings, the survey
showed.
