Slánský trial and antisemitic show trial rhetoric

In the show trial of Rudolf Slánský and other Communist Party officials, antisemitic tropes were deployed beneath the language of “anti-Zionism.” Most defendants were Jewish, and eleven were executed. The proceedings echoed Stalinist antisemitic campaigns and reinforced suspicion toward Jews within the state and public sphere.
