[New York]: Aroysgegebn fun Bundishn klub in Nyu York, 1937. Item #43541
First edition. Original paper wrappers, 8vo, 7 pages, 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as “About the Bund in Poland: Facts and Figures in Connection with the Attack of the Poale Tsiyon on the Jewish Workers' Committee.”
Published by the Bundishn klub in New York, established in 1923 as an organization which would support the work of the Bund in Poland materially and ideologically. This pamphlet covers the organization's historical feud with Poale Tsion, the Marxist Zionist political party within Poland.
“The rapid development of socialist movements in Russia and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Bund’s emphatic rejection of Zionism in 1901, and the Russian Revolution of 1905 hastened the consolidation of disparate Labor Zionist groups into an organized movement. These groups rejected the view of the Bund’s founders that socialism and democracy sufficed to solve the Jewish problem and stressed that only a territorial base in Palestine could allay the economic marginality and abnormality of Diaspora Jewry.
In Russia in 1906, [Ber] Borokhov founded the Jewish Social Democratic Workers Party–Po‘ale Tsiyon. This party followed his ‘prognostic Zionism,’ outlined in the 1906 pamphlet ’Nasha platforma’ (Our Platform) that stressed the role of objective socioeconomic factors and crises rather than Jewish nationalism and pioneering zeal in establishing a Jewish territorial base in Palestine (Borokhov himself later changed his views and embraced the “principled” Zionism that ‘Nasha platforma’ rejected).” (YIVO)
