Shakne Epshtein (1883 in Iwye – 27 July 1945) was a Soviet journalist and the secretary and editor of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee (JAC)'s newspaper, Eynikayt (Unity). …….In the spring of 1920, he returned to Moscow for the tenth conference of the Jewish section [of the Communist Party], and he was selected to be editor of the Yiddish state publishing house. He was also made chairman of the Yiddish literary association. In the summer of 1921, he traveled to the United States, and he edited under the pseudonym Yoysef Barson the weekly Der emes (The truth) in New York, where he remained until 1929. He assisted in unifying the leftist elements of the Jewish Socialist Federation with the Communist Party. Following the split in the Socialist Federation, when the majority joined the Communists, he became co-editor of a united organ, the weekly newspaper Naye-emes (New truth), which quickly changed to a daily called Frayhayt (Freedom), and he was one of its principal editors. He was also co-editor of the Communist monthly Der hamer (The hammer), and he thus played a central role in creating a Yiddish Communist press. Later, he traveled on to Russia, where in May 1929 he was appointed editor-in-chief of the major Kharkov monthly journal, Di royte velt (The red world). From the latter half of the 1930s, he lived and worked in Moscow, and when the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee was established in 1942, he became first secretary and editor of the newspaper Eynikeyt (Unity). He died unexpectedly in Moscow under utterly unexplained circumstances. He also made use of such pen names as: Y. Berman and A. Shmildner. CONDITION: Good-.
