Wasn't spoken about in public, but private yes. In Germany, didn't deal w 3rd Reich
hist. Other J communities didn't know what to do w/Hol survivors, refugees, issues.
Political aspirations?
July 48, Mikhoels killed. From top, put end to Committee. Liquidated others from
Committee. Rubinstein, Stalin's Secret Program, try to understand Sov context,
what they wanted todo.
Doctors Plot, Zhdanov died from heart problems. Pravda, Izvestia, 53, guilty are J
doctors in Kremlin, disproportional. From above. Jan-Mar, scary period for Js in high
occuptions. Stalin died. Look in context of other peoples, nations, to understand J
minority. Js fully integrated in interior until 48. Now it begins to seem that will not
be, not equal. All Js, certain type of Js? Relation to IL, influence on what happens on
SU Js.
