A collection of 93 documents, mostly official Soviet ones, showing the rise in Jewish identity consciousness in Ukraine from 1944-90, as well as the resentment of authorities toward this phenomenon and their attempts to suppress Jewish and especially Zionist activities. Pt. 1 (p. 39-111), covering the period of 1944-53, provides many accounts of antisemitic activity, including cases of anti-Jewish violence, rampant in Ukraine at the time. Some of the documents reflect the resentment of the authorities concerning the intervention of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee in these affairs. Pt. 3 (p. 153-322) shows, inter alia, attempts by the authorities to suppress commemoration of the Holocaust, at the Babii Yar site and elsewhere, in the 1970s.
