Description
In the last decades, previously secret documents on Jewish issues emerged from the newly opened Communist archives. Even though the Shoa is frequently considered as the end of Jewish history, these documents make clear that the communist parties never stopped to be preoccupied with the "Jewish question." A selection of these papers, stemming mostly from Hungarian archives sheds new light on the "Jewish policy" of the Communist bloc countries.
