The Keneder yiddishe vochenblatt Yiddish : קענעדער ײִדישער ואָכנבּלאַט , lit. Vochenblatt Yiddish-language communist newspaper in Canada , published from Toronto from 1926 to 1979.[1] [2] Vochenblatt was one of the major communist Yiddish newspapers in the world during the Cold War .[2] [3]
History [ edit ]
The newspaper was launched in 1926 as Der kampf ('The Struggle') by the Communist Party of Canada , with Joshua Gershman as editor.[4] Der veg ('The Road'), and finally Der keneder yidishe vochenblatt in October 1940.'[5] [6] [7] : 152 [7]
In March 1943 Vochenblatt began including English pages regularly, in an effort to reach out to English-speaking Jews.[6] Nathan Cohen served as editor of the English pages and wrote theatre and film reviews . The English-language section of Vochenblatt was later replaced by a monthly supplement, the Canadian Jewish Outlook [8]
Initially, Vochenblatt adopted a firm anti-Zionist stand, but that posture was softened as World War II progressed. The newspaper was supportive of calls from the Zionist leadership in Palestine to support the Allies . As of mid-1942, Vochenblatt began using the term Eretz Yisrael Birobidzhan movement .[7] : xv joint Jewish-Arab state in Palestine .[7] : 154, 169, 201 Vochenblat favoured the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine, and as the Arab–Israeli War began it issued a call to Canadian Jews to campaign against any compromise against the UN resolution on establishing a Jewish state in Palestine .[9]
In 1948, the newspaper became the de facto United Jewish People's Order . Gershman served as general secretary of UJPO.[7] : 184 Communist Party of Canada (then known as the Labor-Progressive Party ) at the end of 1956.[10]
In its later years, Vochenblat was published biweekly, rather than every week.[11]
