An extract from Rabbi Stephen S.
Wise's speech at the Fifth
Annual Conference of the Jewish
Council for Russian War Relief, held
at the Astor Hotel, New York
City, on May 12, 1946, is quoted in
the November 1946 edition of the New
York magazine Soviet Russia
Today. The
extract of Wise's speech appears in
an article entitled "Where
Anti-Semitism is a Crime" and was
written by Lewis Levin, the
president of the Jewish Council for
Russian War Relief, who was present
when Rabbi Wise made the speech.
Levin was also a member of the
executive committee of the World
Jewish Congress.
"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."
— Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, Astor Hotel, NYC, May 12, 1946
Also
present at this meeting, was
Jewish-Bolshevik greuelpropagandist
Ilya Ehrenburg (1st
source — 2nd
source).
Purely coincidentally, I'm sure,
both Rabbi Wise and Ilya Ehrenburg
had claimed that
6,000,000 Jews were killed by the
Nazis, long before it was supposedly
revealed that this was the figure at
the Nuremberg trial.
Levine also mentions in his article,
that Stalin and the Jew whose son
married Stalin's only daughter;
Svetlana, held the traditional
Jewish celebration to mark their
engagement, and toasted l'chaim ("to
life").
Levine goes on to say the big four synagogues in Moscow are so busy on the Jewish holy days, that speakers have to be put up in the streets so the crowds can hear the service.
