Cover of the August 1932 issue of Der apikoyres (The heretic), an anti-religious propaganda magazine, published in Moscow. The spelling of the magazine’s name exemplifies the Soviet Union’s reform of Yiddish orthography, which renders words from the Semitic component of Yiddish phonetically, rather than the traditional spelling אפּיקורות. Images on the cover, designed by Aron Hefter, protest the oppression of the proletariat and mock traditional Jewish religious practices. (Musée d’art et d’histoire du Judaïsme, Paris.
