Paul Novick

Pesakh "Paul" Novick (1891-1989) was a radical Jewish-American journalist, political commentator, and editor. Novick is best remembered as the long time editor-in-chief of the Communist Party Yiddish-language daily Morgen Freiheit (Morning Freedom) and of the Communist-affiliated English-language magazine Jewish Life. Novick was expelled from the Communist Party in 1972 for publicly charging the Soviet Union with engaging in systemic anti-Semitism.

Pesakh Novick, better known as Paul Novick, was born in 1891.

In 1920 he emigrated to the United States, to which he gained citizenship in 1927.

In 1953, during the height of the Second Red Scare, the United States Department of Justice announced that it would attempt to strip Novick of his naturalized American citizenship and to have him deported on the grounds that he swore to false statements during his 1927 citizenship proceedings.

Novick's wife, Shirley Novick, was the subject of Red Shirley, a short documentary film produced in 2011 by New York City rock icon Lou Reed.
