The purpose of this dissertation is to track the historical trajectory of Jewish immigrants coming from East Europe to the city of São Paulo, especially those coming from countries that integrated the Russian Empire and, subsequently, the Union of Socialist Soviet Republics. This is an attempt of rescuing the experiences of these immigrants made from their arrival in Brazil during the 1920s and 1930s, based on interviews produced and made available by the Oral History Center of the Jewish Brazilian Historical Archive, documents of the Jewish community institutions and records of DEOPS-SP, part of the estate of the Public Archive of the State of São Paulo. The study is presented in three chapters. The first covers the motivations for choosing Brazil as the immigration destination; the intra-group relations, as of the differentiations brought into evidence during the living together of the various Jewish immigrant groups; and the constitution of associations as socialization strategy and to face the adversities. The second chapter, in its turn, has as focus the relationship between the Eastern European Jews and the inhabitants of the city of São Paulo, identifying the dialogues between the Jewish immigrants and the territories occupied by them, with emphasis on Bom Retiro; as well as the working activities, particularly the function of peddler and its meaning as means of survival and social insertion tool. The form with which the Jews were arrested by the national members of São Paulo society of the time is also analyzed, approaching the relations between Jews, Brazilians and other foreigners. Finally, the third chapter deals with the institutional relationship. It is sought to identify how the contact between the policy of the Vargas government (1930-1945), represented by DEOPS-SP, and the Jewish immigrants coming from the member-countries of the then Soviet Union came about. By means of the documentation, it is sought to understand what was more relevant in the orientation of the vigilance and repression practices established by the Brazilian federal government: the anti-Semitism, the anti-communism or still both factors identified severally or in conjunction
