Suitcase, Train Station, Israel: History of Antisemitism in the Soviet Union

The murder of Mikhoels and the destruction of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, Golda Meir's term in Moscow, and soul-searching of Ilya Ehrenburg, who was favoured by the Kremlin, the struggle against rootless cosmopolitans and the Doctors' Case, the anti-Jewish “commercial” legal proceedings of the early 1960s and the surge of national consciousness after the Six-Day War, anti-Semitic narratives in Soviet propaganda and the activities of the servile Anti-Zionist Committee—all of this is examined in this book. The book does not overlook the situation in contemporary Russia, where there has recently been a surge in anti-Israeli rhetoric. The study is based on numerous archival documents, surveys, and interviews that are practically unknown to the audience.
Foreword: Tamara Eidelman. Introduction: David Markish.
