Stalin's
Jews
We mustn't forget
that some of greatest murderers of modern times were Jewish

Here's a particularly forlorn historical date: Almost 90 years ago,
between the 19th and 20th of December 1917, in the midst of the
Bolshevik revolution and civil war, Lenin signed a decree calling for
the establishment of The All-Russian Extraordinary Commission for
Combating Counter-Revolution and Sabotage, also known as Cheka.
Within a short period of time, Cheka became the largest and cruelest
state security organization. Its organizational structure was changed
every few years, as were its names: From Cheka to GPU, later to NKVD,
and later to KGB.
We cannot know with certainty the number of deaths Cheka was
responsible for in its various manifestations, but the number is surely
at least 20 million, including victims of the forced collectivization,
the hunger, large purges, expulsions, banishments, executions, and mass
death at Gulags.
Whole population strata were eliminated: Independent farmers, ethnic
minorities, members of the bourgeoisie, senior officers, intellectuals,
artists, labor movement activists, "opposition members" who were
defined completely randomly, and countless members of the Communist
party itself.
In his new, highly praised book "The War of the World, "Historian Niall
Ferguson writes that no revolution in the history of mankind devoured
its children with the same unrestrained appetite as did the Soviet
revolution. In his book on the Stalinist purges, Tel Aviv University's
Dr. Igal Halfin writes that Stalinist violence was unique in that it
was directed internally.
Lenin, Stalin, and their successors could not have carried out their
deeds without wide-scale cooperation of disciplined "terror officials,"
cruel interrogators, snitches, executioners, guards, judges, perverts,
and many bleeding hearts who were members of the progressive Western
Left and were deceived by the Soviet regime of horror and even provided
it with a kosher certificate.
All these things are well-known to some extent or another, even though
the former Soviet Union's archives have not yet been fully opened
to the public. But who knows about this? Within Russia itself, very few
people have been brought to justice for their crimes in the NKVD's and
KGB's service. The Russian public discourse today completely ignores
the question of "How could it have happened to us?" As opposed to
Eastern European nations, the Russians did not settle the score with
their Stalinist past.
And us, the Jews? An Israeli student finishes high school without ever
hearing the name "Genrikh Yagoda," the greatest Jewish murderer of the
20th Century, the GPU's deputy commander and the founder and commander
of the NKVD. Yagoda diligently implemented Stalin's collectivization
orders and is responsible for the deaths of at least 10 million people.
His Jewish deputies established and managed the Gulag system. After
Stalin no longer viewed him favorably, Yagoda was demoted and executed,
and was replaced as chief hangman in 1936 by Yezhov, the "bloodthirsty
dwarf."
Yezhov was not Jewish but was blessed with an active Jewish wife. In
his Book "Stalin: Court of the Red Star", Jewish historian Sebag
Montefiore writes that during the darkest period of terror, when the
Communist killing machine worked in full force, Stalin was surrounded
by beautiful, young Jewish women.
Stalin's close associates and loyalists included member of the Central
Committee and Politburo Lazar Kaganovich. Montefiore characterizes him
as the "first Stalinist" and adds that those starving to death in
Ukraine, an unparalleled tragedy in the history of human kind aside
from the Nazi horrors and Mao's terror in China, did not move
Kaganovich.
Many Jews sold their soul to the devil of the Communist revolution and
have blood on their hands for eternity. We'll mention just one more:
Leonid Reichman, head of the NKVD's special department and the
organization's chief interrogator, who was a particularly cruel
sadist.
In 1934, according to published statistics, 38.5 percent of those
holding the most senior posts in the Soviet security apparatuses were
of Jewish origin. They too, of course, were gradually eliminated in the
next purges. In a fascinating lecture at a Tel Aviv University
convention this week, Dr. Halfin described the waves of soviet terror
as a "carnival of mass murder," "fantasy of purges", and "essianism of
evil." Turns out that Jews too, when they become captivated by
messianic ideology, can become great murderers, among the greatest
known by modern history.
The Jews active in official communist terror apparatuses (In the Soviet
Union and abroad) and who at times led them, did not do this,
obviously, as Jews, but rather, as Stalinists, communists, and "Soviet
people." Therefore, we find it easy to ignore their origin and "play
dumb": What do we have to do with them? But let's not forget them. My
own view is different. I find it unacceptable that a person will be
considered a member of the Jewish people when he does great things, but
not considered part of our people when he does amazingly despicable
things.
Even if we deny it, we cannot escape the Jewishness of "our hangmen,"
who served the Red Terror with loyalty and dedication from its
establishment. After all, others will always remind us of their origin.
