Description: | This booklet was produced for the Diamond Jubilee of the Workers' Circle, a socialist Jewish friendly society. It contains a history of the Circle from its foundation up to 1969. It is clear from this history that politics was of central importance to the members. For example, in 1917 a new branch was formed because some members had different ideas about the Russian revolution, and in the 1920s and 30s the Circle was very active in anti-fascist and anti-Nazi campaigning. 'Der Arbeiter Ring' is the Yiddish translation of 'The Workers' Circle'; Yiddish is a language derived from Hebrew, and was spoken by Jewish people from Eastern Europe. The first English-speaking members only joined the Workers' Circle in 1919. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Jewish Museum, London | Rights holder: | Copyright holder unknown. | Subjects: | Communities Power and Politics | Temporal: | 1969 | Source: | Jewish Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
