The Czarist police were worried for exactly the same reasons. The pogroms might get out of hand and turn into full-scale revolution. In many ways both the Czarist officials and the Jewish revolutionaries were right. The pogroms radicalized Jewish youth, who turned to the revolutionary movement as the way of expressing their outrage at the attacks on the Jews. Nora Levin noticed the same thing during the Russian civil war some forty years later. The anti-Bolshevik armies visited reprisals on all Jews for what they saw as Jewish participation in revolutionary and terrorist activity, and that in turn radicalized Jewish youth who felt that the only way to die with a gun in their hands was to join the Red Army. So Jewish revolutionary activity led to the pogroms and the pogroms led to more Jewish revolutionary activity. In fact, by 1887, Haberer states, revolution in the wake of the pogroms was only kept alive "because of the continuous supply of Jewish recruits, who, skillfully evading the police, constantly started up new pockets of revolutionary resistance." Surveying the revolutionary ferment during the period from 1878 to 1887 in an official government report, General N. I. Shebeko stated that during this period "the profession of destructive ideas has generally, little by little, become the property of the Jewish element, which very often figured [prominently] in revolutionary circles." He concluded by claiming that "approximately 80 per cent of known socialists in the South [of Russia] in 1886-1887 were Jews." Haberer puts Jewish participation at between 25 and 30 percent, but essentially agrees with Shebeko's assessment. By the late 19th century, "revolutionary subversion without Jews had become unthinkable."

Kaganovich and the Gulag

Eventually the Bolsheviks turned on the Jews and spent the rest of the '20s engaged in a campaign to either eradicate traditional Jewish life or to bring it under party control. Eventually all of the original Jewish Bolsheviks were purged by Stalin. With one exception, that is. Stalin retained the services of Lazar Kaganovich to run his system of concentration camps, subsequently known as the Gulag Archipelago. In Hitler's Willing Executioners, Goldhagen claims that the concentration camp was a uniquely German invention. He fails to tell us that, as Hitler himself noted, the British invented them during the Boer War and that the Soviet Union put them into practice before Hitler did. He also fails to tell us that a Jew, the only Jew who survived Stalin's purges of the Bolshevik era Jews, ran them for Stalin.

At this point, it's worth asking whether Pius XII — the man certain people have taken to calling Hitler's pope — served Nazism as ardently as Lazar Kaganovich served Stalin and Communism. Or whether we, unlike the people who lived during the actual events of the '30s and '40s, would think of making such a comparison solely because we have been swayed by the current campaign to defame Pius XII. Pius XI, Pius XII and members of the German hierarchy like Bishop Graf von Galen of Muenster warned German Catholics that Hitler's racial ideology was incompatible with Catholicism.
