    Summary note
    An account of the trial in 1952 in which fourteen members of the government and Communist Party elite, eleven of them Jews, were tried for high treason. States that the original intent of the Prague trial was political, but it developed into an anti-Jewish trial reflecting the Soviet decision to end its support for Israel, to attack Zionism, and condemn the Jews as Zionist agents. Based on material obtained from the Czech historian Karel Kaplan, who was the secretary of the commission set up in 1968 to investigate the trial for the Communist Party (see his introduction on pp. 17-41), on books by the survivors and their relatives, and on interviews and press reports. (From the Bibliography of the Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism).
