The purpose of this essay is to shed light on the hitherto somewhat ignored theme, the participation of the Soviet-East European Jews in the war against Nazi Germany. How this sphere of warfare is entangled to Anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union? That is a topic to be discussed in this study. The author suggests to reflect on this problem in terms of social upheaval that the Russian Revolution brought about. Considering on the Exodus from the Pale of Settlement, the upward social mobility in the 1930's Soviet society, we can get better understanding on following points. How the Soviet jews were able to perform the commanding post in the Red Army? What was the contribution of Jewish scientists, engineers to the victory? What was the significance in discovering the achievements of Jewish war heroes?
