Outstanding Leader of American Jewry finds no traces of the scourge in his recent visit to the Soviet Union

"At a reception this summer of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in Moscow, a tall, sturdy Red Army man approached and, in faultless Yiddish, requested that I bring back a message
to American Jews. “Go back,” he said, “‘and tell the Jews of America that you spoke to and shook hands with a real Jewish general, and that this general was among his own people.” In these few words, the Soviet military leader summed up the historic story of the Jewish population, estimated at 3,000,000, of the USSR. Anti-Semitism in any shape, form or manner simply does not exist in the Soviet Union. I actually searched"

"Special ‘concern for the Jewish people has characterized the Soviet Union since its birth in the 1917 Revolution. A week after tsarism was overthrown, the infant Socialist government, headed by Lenin, legally ‘abolished nationai oppression, making it the first country in the world to declare anti-Semitism a crime."

Dr. Shimeliovich’s greetings to me, following
my presentation of the Jewish Council’s “American Jewry Book of Friendship,” were particularly enlightening. He said:
“The aid that the Jews in America gave to the Soviet Union was a great contribution toward the fight against fascism and also toward the strengthening of friendship between the Soviet peoples and the people of America. Now that the war is over, the no-less-important task facing the democratic peoples
is the duty to fight the protagonists for a new war. The strengthened friendship between the people of the United States and the Soviet Union is a guarantee for lasting peace."
“The reactionary elements that are now carrying on an anti-Soviet campaign are the worst enemies of the Jewish people, because the fate of the Jewish people is closely bound with that of democracy. “It is therefore the duty of the democratic Jewish organizations to carry on a continued fight against reaction, and for the strengthened friendship between the United States and the Soviet Union.”

The attitude of multitudes of Jewish people all over the world towards the Soviet policy against discrimination was aptly summed up by Dr. Stephen S. Wise, president of the American and — World Jewish Congresses. Speaking _ last May before 2,500 delegates and guests at the Fifth Annual Conference of
the Jewish Council, Dr. Wise declared: “As a Jew I want Jews to do all they can, and more than they can, for the Soviet Union and its peoples, not only because our countries ought to be bound within the bonds of a common understanding and a common comradeship, but also because while other nations—I name them not—talk about themselves as the enemies of fascism, the Soviet Union is decades and generations ahead of the rest of the world in, combating and crushing one of the most terrible tokens and symbols of fascism—namely, anti-Semitism.”
