He was a journalist who sympathized with the Russian Revolution, was a militant of the League of Human Rights, close to the anarchist journalist Séverine whose daughter he married, was a friend of Boris Souvarine and companion of the first founders of the Communist Party, from which he was excluded in 1923. He contributed to La Volonté, the Journal Du Peuple, one of the first French Bolshevik publications, and to Le Quotidien. After the Ukrainian official Simon (Symon) Petlioura, who started pogroms, was assassinated in Paris in 1926 by Samuel (Sholom) Schwartzbard, Bernard Lecache, working as contributor to Le Quotidien, campaigned for Schwartzbad's defense and assisted Schwartzbard's socialist lawyer Henry Torres. Henri Dumay sent Lecache to the Ukraine to investigate the pogroms and search for testimonies for the newspaper Le Quotidien. Lecache spent three-months doing so, and this book is the account of this journey, and the reporting on the pogrom and its victims. Lecache published the results in February and March 1927 in Le Quotidien. He also founded the International League against the Pogroms, which in 1928 became the International League against Antisemitism (LICA). Lecache was its president from 1927 to 1968. In 1979 it became LICRA (The International League Against Racism And Anti-Semitism). Lecache received support from Séverine, the Countess Of Noailles, Albert Einstein, Edmond Fleg, Maxim Gorky, Paul Langevin, Victor Basch and Henry Torrès, Schwartzbard's Lawyer. Schwartzbard was acquitted on October 26, 1927. The Following Year, the league changed its name to the International League Against Anti-Semitism. The title of the work refers to the old assertion whose conclusion suggests: "When Israel dies, Israel is reborn."
