Stalin, in his final years, became a rabious antisemite. The trial of the Jewish doctors was intended to prepare psychologically the population for the mass transfer of Russian Jews to BiroBidjan. We shall never know what went on in his senile mind, ruined by lifelong alcohol abuse. In the 20th. Century it was more dangerous to be a Jew than during the 13th Century Crusades. In Europe, one had a 70% chance of being assassinated and the Jew trapped in the SSSR barely escaped.
