Jewish Communist Labour Bund In Poland
The Jewish Communist Labour Bund in Poland ( yi, ײדישער קאָמוניסטישנ אַרבעטער בּונד אין פוילין), generally referred to as the ''Kombund'', was a Jewish political party in Poland. It was formed in 1922, after a split from the General Jewish Labour Bund in 1921 (which had seen the emergence of the ''Kombund fraktsie'', 'Communist Bund fraction' inside the Bund). The split was provoked by disagreements over whether the Polish Bund should join the Communist International. At the first Polish Bund conference in 1920 a majority resolution passed, calling for the party to join the Communist International. The decision was never executed however, leading to the split and the formation of Kombund. The Kombund was founded in late January 1922, by Communist Bundist groups. The new party affiliated itself to the Communist International, adopting the twenty-one conditions. Around 25% of the Bund membership in Poland joined the Kombund. According to one ...
