| Title |
Toward the history of "The Black Book". |
|---|---|
| Host Item |
Yad Vashem Studies 21 (1991) 221-249 |
| Description |
Examines the history of the preparation of the "Black Book" by the Writers' Commission of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee. There are various conjectures on the timing of the work. The initiative apparently came from the American Committee of Jewish Writers, Artists and Scientists, with whom the JAC had contacts in 1943. The most reliable date for commencement of the work is March-April 1944. Due to a conflict between Ehrenburg and the JAC heads concerning the conception of the book, Ehrenburg resigned from his post as chairman of the Writers' Commission in fall 1944. His position was filled by Vasilii Grossman. Ehrenburg's departure ruined any chance that the "Black Book" would be published only his authority and connections could overcome the cool attitude of the Soviet authorities to the project. It appears that it was not the Soviet Information Bureau but a higher echelon of authorities who suppressed the publication in 1946-48. Describes documentary material not included in the first edition which is due to appear in a joint Israeli-Russian edition now in preparation. Pp. 240-249 contain the protocol of a session of the JAC held on 25 April 1946, which sheds light on the history and the timing of the work.
