Lecture poster: “Jewish Socialist Parties”
Poster promoting a Vilna Bund Committee Meeting on April 2nd, 1919, in Vilna, Poland, about Jewish Socialist Parties (Bund, United, Poalei Zion, and Communist Union), followed by a debate. The lecture featured a speech by A. Litvak, a Bundist activist and writer in Eastern Europe and later the U.S., and a member of the Bund, one of the discussed parties, and one of the largest political groups among Polish Jews. It represented a diverse coalition of Jewish people with shared interests in trade unionism, anti-Zionism, and cultural promotion of Yiddish, and was particularly active and popular in urban centers, like Vilna.
