Text of Note

"Yiddish-speaking groups of Communists played a visible role in many countries, most notably in the Soviet Union, United States, Poland, France, Canada, Argentina and Uruguay. The sacrificial role of the Red Army, and the Soviet Union as a whole, reinforced the Left movement in the post-Holocaust Jewish world. Apart from card-carrying devotees, such groups attracted numerous sympathisers, including the artist Marc Chagall and the writer Sholem Asch. But the suppression of Yiddish culture in the Soviet Union radically changed the climate in Jewish leftwing circles. Former Communists and sympathisers turned away, while the attention of Yiddish commentators in the West shifted to Jewish cultural and religious life in the Soviet Union and Poland, Jewish emigration and the situation in the Middle East. Gennady Estraikh's pioneering study recreates the intellectual environments of the Moscow literary journal Sovetish Heymland, the New York newspaper Morgn-Frayhayt and the Warsaw newspaper Folks-Shtime."--BOOK JACKET.
