Part of the Socialist Studies Seminar series 

The paper discusses the history of Iranian-Jewish activism in Iranian socialist and communist circles. Following the 1941 Anglo-Soviet occupation of Iran, the political sphere opened to all parties and tendencies. The Comunist Tudeh Party was formed adn became the only party in Iran that allowed non-Muslims to become members. Iranian Jews supported the party for many reasons, ranging from its positions against antisemitism and Nazism to its work for social justice and advancement. Jewish activism remained significant until the 1979 Revolution. This talk, focused on Iranian Jewish activism, will examine the intersection of Iranian nationalism, Communism, and Zionism.

The Socialist Studies Seminar is co-sponsored by the Carnegie Mellon University Department of History and the University of Pittsburgh Center for Russian, East European, and Eurasian Studies.
