Is it time to start calling the Soviet GULAGs as Jewish death camps!?
The majority who created the GULAG were Jewish.
It is undeniable Yagoda was Jewish, Matvei Berman was Jewish, Lazar Kogan was Jewish.
Naftaly Frenkel & Rappaport were almost certainly Jewish too.
Rappaport is a Jewish surname.
Naftaly is a Hebrew given name & he was born in Haifa now Israel!

He is mentioned from this period by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in The Gulag Archipelago: "It is time to put six names on the slopes of this channel – the main helpers of Stalin and Yagoda, the main supervisors of Belomor canal, six mercenary killers, after each of them thirty thousand deaths victims: Firin [de] – Berman – Frenkel – Kogan – Rappaport – Zhuk".
Lazar Iosifovich Kogan (Russian: Ла́зарь Ио́сифович Ко́ган) (November 7, 1889—March 3, 1939) was a Soviet secret police (Cheka, OGPU, NKVD) high-ranking functionary,[1] chief of the Gulag (1930–1932) and deputy chief of the Gulag (1932–1936).
