		Some critics have stated that Robeson&8217;s status as a &8220;victim&8221; of the HUAC&8217;s investigation is unwarranted due to the extensive ties Robeson had with both the Soviet Union and the CPUSA, which was known to be actively involved in espionage against the United States.
		The story of Itzik Feffer is cited by Some as an example of the lengths to which Paul Robeson would go to avoid criticism of the Soviet Union.

		Feffer was brought from prison to Robeson's hotel, where he silently communicated that their conversation was being bugged.
		Robeson's response was to include a tribute to Feffer during his last Moscow concert.
		Duberman extenuatingly suggests that the gesture was "all that he could have done without directly threatening Feffer's life," but that life was doomed anyway; more telling is that on his return to the United States, Robeson vehemently denied the existence of Soviet anti-Semitism.

	On Leaving the Communist Party - Howard Fast
		As the Communist Party now exists, every writer, no matter how dedicated and loyal he may appear, is potentially the enemy and destroyer of the Party, moved by enormous forces which he can resist only to the destruction of himself as a writer of any worth at all.
		A good while before the Twentieth Congress of the Bolshevik Party the rumor came to us that Itzik Feffer, the beloved Jewish poet, was dead, and that he had died strangely.
		A hundred times that question was asked and left unanswered, and we who asked it were looked at as fools because we could not understand the political subtleties of the murder of poets.

		Thinking they were music field recordings I anxiously located them and instead found they were Itzik Feffer himself reading his poems while in America in 1942 raising funds for the Anti-Fascist Committee.
		Recorded for broadcast on WEVD by the late founder of Folkways records Moe Asch, they were thrilling and moving readings of this heroic and tragic figure.

		In the 1930s Jews insisted that it was just a coincidence that such a large proportion of the people purged were Jews.
		When Itzik Feffer and others of the Anti-Fascist committee were murdered after World War II, we made believe it didn't happen.
		Now, when "progressives" insist there is a Jewish plot to start a war in Iraq or Iran, we still insist it has nothing to do with anti-Semitism.
