Big lie revived what behind (2 resultados)

Single 8.5x11 inch sheet, printed one side, light edgewear, creased from being folded in half else very good condition. None in OCLC as of 9/2020. Published in connection with the Slánský trial in Prague, defending against accusations that it was an anti-Semitic show trial.

A seemingly unrecorded broadside (8 ½" x 11" published by the Los Angeles branch of the "Morning Freiheit" and issued in the wake of the Slánský trial in Prague - regarded by many in the Jewish community as an anti-Semitic show trial. Refutes the fear-mongering whipped up by the mainstream Jewish press and instead accuses anti-Semitism of being ignored in West Germany, "Wall Street's partner." Further criticizes Ben-Gurion and the Israeli government of "harness[ing] itself to the war chariot of the American imperialists to make Israel 'an important stronghold against the Soviet union'." Concludes with a statement by the American Zionist leader, Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver, to a group of Zionist activists, on his refusal to declare Czechoslovakia or the Soviet Union as anti-Semitic. A few short years after this broadside was published, the Freiheit and its supporters would be forced to re-evaluate their commitment to the Soviet Union following Khrushchev's revelations and the subsequent de-Stalinization of the country. An important surviving example of Jewish Communist fealty to the Soviet Union even in the face of troubling anti-Semitism. Two horizontal creases from folding; faint toning and one tiny stain near the top right corner. A well-preserved copy. No record in WorldCat.…
