| Transcript | refugees were varied elements. Among them were anti- communists and many who were demoralized by the indescribable hardships of their flight. Regardless of my attitude to the Soviet system, have I the right ever to forget that this humanitarian act of the Russians saved my family and myself, as well as the lives of the Haar family and 200,000 other Jews?" Soviets Save Jews Recently, a book called The Role of the Jews in the Partisan Movement in the Soviet Union, written by Moi- she Kaganovitch, came to our attention. Kaganovitch, together with a number of other Jewish partisans eager to go to Palestine, travelled across Europe and ended up in Italy. There they created their own organization. Part of their purpose was to present just such an historical work as this 402-page book. In the course of the stirring stories of the heroism of the Jews in the Partisan movement, Kaganovitch states, "I must stress that the Soviet government and the Soviet partisans were the only ones in this bitter and bloody epoch of Jewish life, who saved the Jews and made it possible for tens of thousands of Jews particularly in the Western part of White Russia and the Ukraine to live through the war. . . . The Soviet government was the only one that carried out the decisions of the tragically renowned Bermuda conference, of the great powers on saving Jews wherever they were found." Kaganovitch quotes in full the historic decree issued by the Supreme Soviet in 1941 giving precedence to "evacuating first of all citizens of the Jewish nationality from those areas where they are endangered by the enemy." Hundreds of stories of the concern of the Soviet government for the Jews and of the efforts it made to save the Jewish people and protect them from the nazis have appeared even in magazines and newspapers consistently 21 |
