    Jewish people were treated better in the USSR than in any western country. The Soviets were the only ones with actual laws against anti-semitism at the time. They were the only ones who had explicitly and openly condemned all forms of racism and reflected this in law and in practice in their society with harsh punishments for anti-semitic or racist attacks.

    Meanwhile in the west many were literal Nazi sympathizers and of those that weren’t quite a few either wanted to keep jewish refugees out or get rid of them by shipping them to Palestine.
