In the last two decades a large amount of previously secret
documents on Jewish issues emerged from the newly opened Communist
archives. The selection of these papers published in the volume and
stemming mostly from Hungarian archives will shed light on a period
of Jewish history that is largely ignored because much of the
current scholarship treats the Shoah as the end of Jewish history
in the region. The documents introduced and commented by the editor
of the volume, Andras Kovacs, will give insight into the conditions
and constraints under which the Jewish communities, first of all,
the largest Jewish community of the region, the Hungarian one had
to survive in the time of the post-Stalinist Communist
dictatorship. They may shed light on the ways how "Jewish policy"
of the Soviet bloc countries was coordinated and orchestrated from
Moscow and by the single countries. The archival material will
prove that the ruling communist parties were restlessly preoccupied
with the "Jewish question." This preoccupation, which kept the
whole issue alive in the decades of communist rule, explains to a
great extent its open reemergence in the time of transition and in
the post-communist period.
