At the same time, the composer felt an extraordinary tangible identification with the Jewish spirit, as well as a recognition of the role and importance of the Jewish contribution in history. (When it comes to the references in the disputed biography, Testimony, to Shostakovich's fierce personal stance whenever he came across the slightest expression of anti-semitism, there is sufficient independent evidence to indicate that Solomon Volkov's reporting cannot seriously be challenged.)
