Yiddish modernist verse asking the Jews to replace their old ways with communism. Alas, not even his 20,000 line poem extolling Stalin could save from being murdered by the arch-butcher. Peretz Davidovich Markish (7 Dec. 1895 (25 Nov. OS) Polonne, Volyn Governorate, Russian Empire -12 August 1952 Lubyanka Prison, Moscow, Soviet Union) was a Soviet/Russian Jewish poet and playwright who wrote predominantly in Yiddish. He was born to a Sephardi Jewish family. As a child he attended a cheder and sang in the choir of the local synagogue. He served as a private in the Russian Imperial Army during World War I and was discharged from the army after the Russian Revolution, settling in Ekaterinoslav (now Dnipropetrovsk), Ukraine. In 1918, he relocated to Kiev. Markish's first poetry collection, Shveln ("Thresholds"), published in Kiev in 1919, established his reputation. His poetry cycle Di kupe ("The Heap"; 1921) was written in response to the Ukrainian pogroms of 1919-20. In the early 1920s, he was a member of the Kiev group of Yiddish poets that included David Hofstein and Leib Kvitko. After a series of pogroms took place in Ukraine, he moved to Warsaw and in Western Europe. While in Warsaw, he co-edited with I. J. Singer the expressionist literary anthology Khalyastre ("Gang"; 1922). Uri Zvi Grinberg and Melech Ravitch edited other literary publications. A second and final volume of Khalyastre, edited with Oser Varshawski, appeared in Paris in 1924 with a cover illustration by Marc Chagall. In 1924 he was a co-founder and editor of the Literarishe bleter in Warsaw. In 1926, Markish returned to the Soviet Union. There he published a number of optimistic poems glorifying the communist regime, including Mayn dor ("My Generation"; 1927) and the epic Brider ("Brothers"; 1929). His novel Dor oys, dor ayn ("Generation After Generation"; 1929), about the genesis of revolution in a small Jewish town, was condemned for "Jewish chauvinism." He was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1939. Markish joined the Soviet Communist party in 1942. In April 1942, Stalin ordered the formation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee designed to influence international public opinion and organize political and material support for the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany, particularly from the West. Solomon Mikhoels, the popular actor and director of the Moscow State Jewish Theater, was appointed the JAC chairman. Members of JAC included Der Nister, Itzik Feffer, Peretz Markish and Samuel Halkin. They wrote texts and petitions as cries for help against the Nazi pogroms. Among others, the texts were printed in U.S. newspapers. The JAC also raised funds. In 1946, he was awarded the Stalin Prize, and wrote several paeans to Joseph Stalin, including a 20,000-line epic poem Milkhome ("War") in 1948. However, Stalin soon changed policy towards the liquidation of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee and against the remnants of official Jewish cultural activity in the Soviet Union. Solomon Mikhoels was murdered by the secret police in January 1948, to avoid a show trial. Other writers were accused of treason, and other "crimes", and arrested. Markish was accused of being a "Jewish nationalist", and arrested in January 1949, and shot with other Jewish writers during the Night of the Murdered Poets in August 1952. After Stalin's death, Markish's widow Esther and his sons, literary scholar Shimon Markish and prose writer David Markish, actively set out to redeem his memory. Following Markish's official rehabilitation in November 1955, several comprehensive editions of his poems, translated into Russian by Anna Akhmatova, were published in 1957. His oldest child, daughter Olga Rapay-Markish by his first wife, Zinaida Joffe, was a renowned Ukrainian ceramicist. The cover of Peretz Markish's anthology, made by Melech Ravich, has its name and the author's name. The font resembles electricity flashes or radio waves, in keeping with the anthology's name and Markish's taut modernistic poetics. (illustrator).…

Julius Lester (1939-2018) was a Black academic, author, civil rights activist, photographer and musician. He taught at the New School for several years and then at UMass Amherst from 1971 until his retirement. In his highly decorated career, he authored over forty books, including a guide to the twelve-string guitar written with Pete Seeger; released several folk-blues albums; exhibited photographs, including at the Smithsonian Institution; and won numerous teaching awards.[1] From 1968 to 1975 Lester hosted Uncle Tom's Cabin on WBAI, an independent New York City radio station. Early in the show's tenure, during the 1968 teachers' strike over the firing of a number of mostly Jewish teachers from the majority Black Ocean Hill-Brownsville school district, Lester's show aired a poem written by a young Black student at an unidentified New York City high school. The poem was dedicated to the striking United Federation of Teachers' president, Albert Shanker, and opens: "Hew jew boy with that yamaka on your head / You pale faced jew boy / I wish you were dead / I can see you jew boy /naw you cant hide / I got a scoop on you, yeah / you gonna die." Lester-who, incidentally, converted to Judaism in 1982-defended the poem and its airing, provoking backlash from listeners and from the Anti-Defamation League, which called for his resignation and picketed the station. Offered here is a large archive of listener mail responding to this broadcast and to the later broadcast of a letter from a Black Queens College graduate. This letter also concerned anti-Semitism in the Black community, albeit with a much different tone than the student poem: the writer explains that "until quite recently" they had felt significant anti-Jewish sentiment because, having grown up in a Jewish neighborhood, they used to conceive of all white people as Jewish-and that listening to WBAI "was very instrumental not only in helping me to recognize my anti-Semitism, but in tracing its roots". The original copy of this letter is contained in the archive; as a manuscript note on it remarks, it "started a second wave of complaint and precipitated the complaint from Shanker to the FCC". The letter was broadcast on Larry Josephson's In the Beginning, and much of the mail is addressed to him. A tally on a filing folder totals the "hate" letters at 728 and "love" letters at 341; however, in this collection, the response is mostly positive. Moreover, within the positive response to the broadcasts are only a handful of openly anti-Semitic ones ("Good luck in your fight against the Jewish financial interests of New York City"). Nonetheless the "hate" contingent is well-represented: besides threats ("Don't walk alone, cock-sucker and don't take this lightly - we have pledged to get you and we mean it!"; "'He who lives by the sword will die by the sword.' And you will get yours, you may be sure"), a number of writers sent in poems of their own, usually riffs on the original poem, and generally containing abundant racial slurs and stereotypes about crime, welfare, and police brutality. Occasionally a rationale is offered: the station had defended its broadcasts on the basis of free speech, and therefore should air these poems as well. In fact the better part of the supportive letters, including ones from listeners who vehemently disagreed with the broadcast content, also cite the importance of free speech as a reason for their continued support; for instance, Adele Lawrence writes: "I am a subscriber and a Jew. Negro anti-semitism has upset me too. But I support the station's policy 100%. Lets hear what black people are saying. Lets search our souls to find out why. And lets do something about it - instead of all this self-righteous over-reaction." Like Lawrence, most listeners felt the need to include some demographic information about themselves. It seems that the broadcasts had prompted listeners to introspect on their own identities, and to write in with their experiences, ofte.…
