An attack on Sholom Schwartzbard accusing him of Soviet sympathies, was published by the Paris newspaper, “Figaro”. The paper alleged that Schwartzbard had relations with the Soviet government. Schwartzbard addressed an open letter to the newspaper, denying categorically this allegation. In publishing the denial, the “Figaro” repeated its accusation, adding that Henry Torres, Schwartzbard’s counsel, has always defended Communists and that his defense of Schwartzbard is inspired by the Soviets.
