Ben-gurion Sees ‘large Current of Anti-semitism’ Prevalent in Russia

Anti-Semitism is still widespread in some countries, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion of Israel said today in an interview with the correspondent of Le Figaro, a leading French newspaper published here.

Asked by the correspondent as to whether he considers Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev as being anti-Semitic, the Israel Prime Minister said he did not know whether Khrushchev was personally anti-Semitic but that among the people in the Soviet Union there was still “a large current of anti-Semitism.”
