Bund and the Jewish fraction of the Polish workers' party in Poland after 1945

The General Jewish Workers' Union, the Bund was established in Vilna in 1897. After the the Bolshevik Revolution the Bund in USSR was forcibly united with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In Poland the Bund by the 1930s moved to a less revolutionary and more social-democratic position and established itself as one of the principal parties in the Jewish community. After World War II it was also active in countries other than Poland. In 1949 the 50 year long history of the Bund in Poland came to an end
