This pioneering study shows what brought Yiddish-speaking Jewish
intelligentsia to the Communist movement in the interwar years.
They believed that Communism is not only a way to solve the Jewish
problem but also to save the Yiddish culture. Biography of the
central protagonist of the book, a Yiddish writer Dovid (David)
Sfard, is just a pretext to show a full range of Jewish Communist
activists (such as Hersh Smolar, Bernard Mark, Szymon Zachariasz,
etc.) and their life choices. This relatively small milieu
influenced and controlled the Jewish life in post-war Poland until
the anti-Semitic campaign of 1968. Their lives, reconstructed
thanks to sources in several languages, make up a panorama of
Jewish Communist experience in 20th-century Eastern Europe.
