An event in Washington will commemorate the 50th anniversary of “The Night of the Murdered Poets” in the Soviet Union. Monday’s event — sponsored by NCSJ: Advocates on Behalf of Jews in Russia, Ukraine, the Baltic States and Eurasia — marks the night in 1952 when 13 Jews, several of whom were writers, were executed at Stalin’s bequest for treason.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
