Abstract
The FBI's approach to Jews and Judaism during the Hoover era was shaped not only by a suspicion of Jews as potential communists bur also by the image of America as a land of equality and religious tolerance. In the years after World War II, the link between Jews, Judaism, and communism was fraught. On the one hand, being Jewish was prima facie evidence that one may be communist; on the other hand, Judaism played an essential role in the concept of a religious America.
