Comsomol Urges Warfare on Anti-semitism in Its Own Ranks

Central Committee of Communist Youth Group Issues Instructions for Investigations (Jewish Telegraphic Agency)

Instructions to its branches throughout the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics to wage untiring warfare against anti-Semitism in its own ranks were issued by the Central Committee of the Comsomol, Communist youth organization.

The circular urges the branches to investigate every individual case of anti-Semitic mistreatment, to “unmask the open and secret anti-Semites,” not even stopping at expulsion from the organization of “all anti-Semites.”

Simultaneously, instructions urged members of the youth organization to carry on a fight against the “religious and Zionist manifestations among the young Jewish workers.”
