This pamphlet, written by an Israeli correspondent for the London Daily Mail, explores the pervasive antisemitism in Ukraine and the broader Soviet Union. Heiman details how the Communist regime, while officially denouncing racism, unofficially tolerated and even supported antisemitic practices, particularly in employment and education. The article also highlights Soviet propaganda against Israel, portraying it as a Zionist aggressor, especially in interactions with Israeli delegations. A key focus of the research is the erasure of Holocaust history in Ukraine, including the Soviet effort to obscure the Jewish identity of the victims at Babi Yar, where many were massacred during the Nazi occupation.
