"The Jewish Antifascist Committee (JAC) was formed in Kuibyshev in
April 1942. Two Polish Jewish socialists, Henryk Erlich and Viktor
Alter (both of whom were later secretly executed), may have proposed
the idea to Lavrenti Beria, the head of the NKVD. The organization was
meant to serve the interests of Soviet foreign policy and the Soviet
military through media propaganda -- as well as through personal
contacts with Jews abroad, especially in Britain and the United
States, designed to influence public opinion and enlist foreign
support for the Soviet war effort.

The chairman of the JAC was Solomon Mikhoels, a famous actor and
director of the Moscow Yiddish State Theater. Shakne Epshtein, a
Yiddish journalist, was the secretary and editor of the JAC's
newspaper, Einikait (Unity). Other prominent JAC members were the
poet Itsik Feffer, a former member of the Bund (a Jewish socialist
movement that existed from 1897 to 1921 and supported the
Mensheviks], the writer Il'ia Ehrenburg, General Aaron Katz of the Stalin
Military Academy, and Boris Shimelovich, the chief surgeon of the Red
Army, as well as some non-Jews from the arts, sciences, and the military.

A year after its establishment, the JAC was moved to Moscow and
became one of the most important centers of Jewish culture and
Yiddish literature until the German invasion. The JAC broadcast
pro-Soviet propaganda to foreign audiences several times a week,
telling them of the absence of anti-Semitism and of the great
anti-Nazi efforts being made by the Soviet military....."

JEWISH ANTIFASCIST COMMITTEE IN THE USSR

Moscow, ulitsa Kropotkina, 10, Telephone: G-6-71-00, G-6-47-07

[letterhead also in Russian and Yiddish]

21 June 1946

TO COMRADE M. A. SUSLOV, DIRECTOR OF THE SECTION FOR FOREIGN
POLICY OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE COMMUNIST PARTY

Pursuant to the inquiry of Comrade Shumeiko, we are providing some
information about the Jewish Antifascist Committee in the USSR and its
activity.
....

The Jewish Antifascist Committee in the USSR was formed soon after the
first antifascist radio broadcast political rally of representatives
of the Jewish people, which was held in Moscow in August 1941.

The Committee consists of 70 members (a list of Committee members is
attached), and its executive committee has 19 members (a list of
executive committee members is attached).

The working staff of the Committee consists of:

1.Secretary of the Committee, whose duties (following the death of
Comrade Shakhno Epshtein) are carried out by the writer I. Fefer,
member of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) [VKP(b)] since
1919. 2.Deputy Secretary of the Committee, Comrade S.M. Shpigel'glias,
VKP(b) member since 1919 and formerly a party worker. 3.Senior
editors: N. IA. Levin, VKP(b) member since 1944 and veteran of World
War II; L. A. Goldberg, not a party member, former director of the
publishing house Der Emes; editor S.O. Berman, VKP(b) member since
1940, veteran of World War II; and three translators and several
technical workers.

In the course of the last two years, representatives of a series of
foreign Jewish antifascist organizations have visited the Committee:
Deputy Chairman of the Jewish Antifascist Committee of Bulgaria, Mr.
Zhak Vradzhali; one of the leaders of the Union of Jews of
Czechoslovakia, Mr. Rozenberg; representatives of Jewish organizations
of France, Poland, et al.

Recently Mr. Ben Zion Goldberg (Waife), the son-in-law of Sholem
Aleichem, visited the Soviet Union. He is a prominent public figure in
the United States, a member of the executive committee of the
Soviet-American Friendship Society (headed by Lamont), chairman of the
Committee of Jewish Scientists, Writers, and Artists of the United
States (Albert Einstein is president of the Committee), vice-president
of Ambidjan, the All-American Society for Aid to Birobidzhan
(president of Ambidzhan-- Steffenson). Mr. Goldberg is also a major
American journalist, a contributor to the newspapers Toronto Star,
Saint Louis Dispatch, New York Post, and Today, and to the magazine
New Republic. Mr. Goldberg stayed in the Soviet Union from January 11
to June 8, excluding one month when he traveled to Finland, Sweden,
and Denmark.

During his stay in the Soviet Union, Mr. Goldberg was received in
Moscow by M. I. Kalinin and S. A. Lozovskii; he attended all meetings
of the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union; and he had a series of
meetings with Soviet writers (including a banquet at the Union of
Writers), with representatives of the Soviet Jewish community (at the
Jewish Antifascist Committee in the USSR headquarters), with leaders
of the State Jewish Theater, with the chief rabbi of the Moscow Jewish
congregation, Shliffer, and with leaders of the Red Cross, among
others.

Mr. Goldberg visited Riga, Tallin, Leningrad, Minsk, Vilnius, Kaunas,
Kiev, Odessa, Lvov, Uzhgorod, Mukachevo, Brody, and Stalingrad. He was
received by the leading workers and writers in the capitals of the
union republics.

During his stay in the Soviet Union, Mr. Goldberg dispatched via the
Soviet Information Bureau 33 articles to the American, Canadian,
English, Palestinian, Polish, and Yiddish press. The articles were
extremely friendly toward the Soviet Union.

Before his departure, Mr. Goldberg began to write a book in English
entitled England, the Opponent of Peace, and a book in Yiddish
entitled Jewish Culture in the Soviet Union.

Recently the Committee has received a series of requests from
prominent Jewish public figures from several countries seeking
assistance in visiting the Soviet Union. Such requests were received
from: N. Goldman, the chairman of the executive committee of the World
Jewish Congress; Dr. Stephen Wise, chairman of the American Jewish
Congress; Louis Levine, chairman of the Jewish Union for Soviet Aid
under Russian War Relief; Mr. Raiskii, the editor-in-chief of the
newspaper Presse Nouvelle in Paris; et al.

The Jewish Antifascist Committee in the USSR has sent during its
entire existence one delegation, composed of Comrades Mikhoels and
Fefer, to the United States, England, Canada, and Mexico. This
delegations's trip report has been published in the book The Jewish
People against Fascism (attached; see pp. 91- 129).

Introduction
This Library of Congress Soviet Archives exhibition is important for what it
represents, what it contains, and what it suggests...
This exhibit, also shown in Moscow, is a milestone in this process -- the first
public display of the hitherto highly secret internal record of Soviet Communist
rule.
