Summary/Abstract: The documents published in this issue refer to the work of the Jewish Democratic Committee in its last two years, 1952 and 1953. The first two documents highlight the steady efforts JDC activists were making to fight the anti-Zionist propaganda. Given the modest results and especially the intensified Stalinist anti-Semitism, the Romanian Workers Party leaders decided in 1953 to dissolve the JDC. On March 20, 1953, at a meeting of their Central Committee, the JDC leaders decided unanimously on "self-dissolution." In connection with that aspect, the current issue also contains a report on the self-dissolution and the cessation of the activity of the JDC's central committee, regional and local committees.
