Publisher's Synopsis
""The Jews in the Soviet Satellites"" is a historical account of the Jewish people living in the countries under Soviet influence during the Cold War era. Written by Peter Meyer, the book explores the experiences of Jews in Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria from the end of World War II to the early 1970s. The author examines the anti-Semitic policies of these countries, including the Stalinist purges, the suppression of Jewish culture and religion, and the restrictions on emigration. Meyer also highlights the struggles of Jewish communities to maintain their identity and traditions despite the oppressive conditions. The book draws on primary sources and interviews with Jewish survivors and activists to provide a comprehensive and insightful overview of the Jewish experience in the Soviet satellites.Additional Author Nicholas Sylvain.
