Jewish Communists

Jewish Communists: A Historical Study of Jewish Figures in Communist Movements, Their Motivations, and Legacy rips the mask off lazy conspiracy theories like "Judeo-Bolshevism" with bold, uncompromising honesty. A.A. Castor dives deep into Jewish history, antisemitism, and the social pressures that drove some Jews toward Marxism, socialism, and the Bolshevik revolution-while most rejected or fought against it. This isn't another sanitized history. It tackles the Jewish Bund, Yiddish socialism, Soviet betrayal, Stalinist purges, Holocaust-era slanders, and the bitter controversies that shaped modern politics. Castor refuses to flatten Jewish experience into a propaganda trope, showing real debates, betrayals, and human choices. This book is for readers who want more than slogans-who want to see how oppression breeds radicalism without blaming entire peoples. It will challenge assumptions, confront uncomfortable truths, and arm you against the same old lies that keep coming back.
