MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The file is a malicious Microsoft Word document containing VBA macros, specifically a Document_Open macro. ClamAV detected it as 'Doc.Trojan.Thus-8'. The presence of the Document_Open macro indicates an attempt to automatically execute malicious code when the document is opened, which is consistent with a macro-based downloader or dropper. The document body discusses historical Jewish labor movements, which appears to be a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the file.
