Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Im Antlitz des Holocaust und des deutschen Vernichtungskriegs im ostlichen Europa fand 1943 eine aussergewohnliche Welttournee statt: Der Schauspieler Solomon Mikhoels und der Dichter Itsik Fefer bereisten im Auftrag des Judischen Antifaschistischen Komitees dutzende Orte in Nordamerika und Grossbritannien. Die beiden sowjetischen Gesandten traten auf Grossveranstaltungen auf und wurden von Prominenten wie Albert Einstein, Schalom Asch und Nahum Goldmann empfangen. In einer einzigartigen Mission mobilisierten sie zur judischen Einigkeit gegen den Nationalsozialismus und warben um militarische und humanitare Unterstutzung fur die Sowjetunion. Von dieser “Eynikayt” ausgehend, beschreibt der Autor die politischen, nationalen und kulturellen Visionen und Widerspruche, die sich hieraus innerjudisch und daruber hinaus ergaben. Die Studie kontextualisiert die zwischen zwei stalinistischen Terrorwellen durchgefuhrte Tournee in Bezug auf die wechselhaften Beziehungen der sowjetisch-judischen Bevolkerung zum eigenen Staat und die bruchige Situation innerhalb der Anti-Hitler-Koalition.
