OscailtYiddish-speaking libertarians in FranceThis is a brief extract from the book "Les Libertaires du Yiddishland" by Jean-Marc Izrine, which traces the history of the Yiddish-speaking anarchist movement throughout the world. This section deals with the situation in France in the early 20th century.2007-01-13T10:00:06+08:00Anarkismoanarkismoeditors@lists.riseup.nethttp://www.anarkismo.net/atomfullposts?story_id=4631http://www.anarkismo.net/graphics/feedlogo.gifMore infohttp://www.anarkismo.net/article/4631#comment39832007-01-13T10:00:06+08:00mitchwsany at hotmail dot comA brief bio (written by Nick Heath) of Jacques Dubinsky who is mentioned in this...A brief bio (written by Nick Heath) of Jacques Dubinsky who is mentioned in this article can be found at <a href="http://libcom.org/history/doubinsky-jacques-1889-1959">http://libcom.org/history/doubinsky-jacques-1889-1959</a><br />

As an aside, I wounder if Jacques was related to David Dubinsky? David Dubinsky was the long term president of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU) here in the US. He was a social democrat who, in the 1920s, made an alliance with ILGWU anarchists against the communists. This occured during a major international struggle in the largest of the US needle trades unions. This, of course, is a whole other stroy.<br />

I am wondering about another publication issued by the Yiddish CGT syndicalists.<br />
<br />
On Oct. 9, 1911 the first issue of "The Jewish Worker" ("Der idesher arbyter") published by the CGT and the organ of of the Yiddish speaking unions affiliated to the CGT. In the 1930s the communist dominated CGT revived this as a monthly. This is all that I know at the moment. Does anyone know anything else?Voline on anti-semitismhttp://www.anarkismo.net/article/4631#comment39892007-01-14T09:18:20+08:00mitchwsany at hotmail dot comMy French is terrible, but for those of you who read French, here's a link to an...My French is terrible, but for those of you who read French, here's a link to an article written by Voline against anti-semitism:<br />

"This is the first comprehensive scholarly study published in Italy on the international Yiddish-speaking anarchist movement. The author attributes the support for anarchism among East-European Jewish emigrants in Western Europe and the Americas to Judaism's eschatological tendencies. The extended tradition of fairly autonomous Jewish communities also made the Jewish workers receptive to anarchism's federal and associative nature. After covering the Jewish proletariat in Russia, the author devotes several chapters to Jewish anarchism in the United States, Great Britain, Argentina and France, as well as the trials and tribulations of the Steimer group, which opposed U.S. involvement in World War I."<br />
