And what about my friends who "did time"? Is their testimony untrue because Solzhenitsyn wrote a book? How many Jews would have had to go to Siberia, or Lefertovo prison to satisfy one who takes this man's word?

I have plenty of people I can bring forward who suffered horribly in the camps. Just as much as anyone else. This is my experience. Jews suffered just like everyone else under the communists. What about the Jews that died in Pogroms, did he mention them in his book? Did he mention the mobs that slaughtered men, women, and children? Did he mention Baba Yar? Did he mention a special Soviet "Jewish" secret police, dedicated only to sending their fellow Jews to prison or worse?

Jews were systematically sent to Siberia for nothing more than practicing Judaism. They were tortured for teaching Judaism. They were executed for saying anything in public about it. Did this author mention those people? Solzhenitxyn knew nothing of this, and now he is an expert? I take his word for nothing about the plight of Soviet Jews. Not because he is hateful, only because he is ignorant.

"They were tortured for teaching Judaism. "

May God punish those who did this. I just hope they were not secular jews.

You do realize that Baba Yar was perpetrated by the Nazies, right? Besides, the fact is, in the 1920s Jews occupied most of the high positions in the Communist party, to include the terror apparatus....these were not religeous Jews but they were Jews by ethnicity. You are going to try now to disprove or slam me for stating a fact, then I'm going to repost the list I posted last time you did this with all the names and positions...so lets not go down that trail again. Do you think Jews are a blameless people? Sorry to burst your bubble, but they are no more blameless then any other people. All races of man have sinned against God, to include the Jews....all races of men have produced evil sociopaths, to deny this is reverse racism.
