Traces the historical rationalizations of anti-Semitism to the fact that, in the centuries preceding the domination of industrial capitalism, Jews emerged as a ?people-class? of merchants, moneylenders, and traders. Leon explains why the propertied rulers incite renewed Jew-hatred in the epoch of capitalism?s decline. "As if his exemplary life wasn't enough, with The Jewish Question Abram Leon left us a piece of work that is an honor to his intellect and honesty. I can't emphasize how much I learned and enjoyed reading it." ?Rene Gonzalez Sehwerert, Dec. 1, 2005 (Rene Gonzalez Sehwerert is one of the ?Cuban Five??revolutionists from Cuba jailed in the U.S. on frameup charges of ?espionage.?)
In 1952 nine Kremlin doctors, all Jews, were seized and accused of plotting to poison the Soviet leaders. Rapoport's account of the final 14 months of Stalin's life reveals that the so-called "Doctors' Plot" was a culminating step in the dictator's lifelong war against the Jews, and argues that only Stalin's sudden death in 1953 prevented the unfolding of his own solution to the "Jewish problem" in the Soviet Union.
