We invite you to participate in the great public demonstration that will take place Monday July 31 4:45 p.m. in Madison Square Park Madison Avenue and 24th Street Millions of Jews were murdered by the Nazis in all parts of Europe. Young and old women and men were driven into gas and death chambers and destroyed. In the current hour the greatest danger for those still alive in the Nazi countries. The Hitlerian beast which conquered and humiliated countries and murdered millions of people is ready to strangle and murder the surviving remnants of the Jewish people. Hundreds of thousands of Jews from Hungary are now in danger of death the tens of thousands of Jews left alive in Poland in France in Belgium in the Czech Republic where they are under Hitler's rule. In order to express our grief and anger to cry out our grief and appeal for help to the United Nations at the last moment a public demonstration is called by the Rescue Committee of the General Jewish Conference. We cannot and must not remain silent. People must help save the survivors. Come express your feelings desires and demands! It is demanding that the United Nations do everything possible to stop the death march! It is demanded that all those who are guilty of the murders will be brought to justice! The Nazi victims who are now struggling between death and life must know that we are with them. At a conference of representatives of the trade union organizations called by the Jewish Labor Committee it was decided to actively participate in the great national demonstration. We must do everything we can so that the demonstration will be imposing and effective. Leave the store no later than 4 o'clock. Marched to the site of the demonstration in Madison Square Park. Overtime is not allowed on this day. With Trade Union Regards United Hebrew Trades Reuven Guskin President Maurice Tigel Vice-President William Wolpert Executive Secretary" The rally was covered by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency JTA the next day: "Tens of thousands of Jews and non-Jews crowded Madison Square Park today at an open-air mass-demonstration in behalf of the Jews of Hungary and other parts of Nazi Europe sponsored by the 64 affiliated agencies of the American Jewish Conference with the cooperation of the American Jewish Committee and other national organizations. Speakers at the demonstration included Assistant U. S. Attorney General Norman M. Littell who is secretary of the National Committee Against Persecution of Jews; Dr. Stephen S.Wise president of the American Jewish Congress and co-chairman of the American Jewish Conference; Judge Joseph M. Proskauer president of the American Jewish Committee; Henry Monsky president of B'nai B'rith and co-chairman of the American Jewish Conference; Adolph Held president of the Jewish Labor Committee and many other noted Jewish and Christian leaders. The huge mass-meeting in which Jews from all walks of life participated adopted a declaration stating that it is not yet too late 'to save thousands upon thousands' of Jews for the day of liberation. The meeting appealed in the first instance to President Roosevelt and the Government of the United States and through them to the United Nations and to the neutral states." The original JTA covers including a full list of the demands from the rally and other details can be viewed at www.jta.org/archive/huge-open-air-demonstration-in-new-york-demands-rescue-of-jews-from-europe Leading national Jewish organizations organized this July 31 1944 Madison Square Park mass rally to demand Allied action against the Nazi slaughter of European Jews. New York had at the time the world's biggest Jewish population with a Jewish community of around 2 million. The city had hosted numerous similar rallies over the previous decade all focused on building opposition to Hitler and support for the struggling Jews of Europe. Beginning on March 4 1934 "One year after Hitler's ascension to power in Germany tens of thousands of New Yorkers gathered at Madison Square Garden to hear the words of Rabbi Stephen Wise. 'Despite the oceanic tragedy which has befallen us' Wise pronounced 'we Jews tonight joining in the chorus of civilization indict Hitlerism as humans as members of civilized society before the high court of human judgment.' Wise's words resonated for audience members attending the rally that March night. Over the course of the evening they heard from a chorus of voices representing the American public self-identifying across different racial religious and ideological lines. Framed as a 'court' the speakers at the rally gathered to indict Hitler for his crimes against civilization an intentionally pointed term that would offend Nazi ideologues claiming to protect civilization through Aryan supremacy. This mock trial was part of a larger trend of American Jewish protest performances staged during the Third Reich that intended to garner support for the rescue of European Jews. On March 27 the AJCongress American Jewish Congress successfully staged a rally titled Stop Hitler Now to an audience of twenty thousand Jews in Madison Square Garden. Outside of the Garden thirty-five thousand people stood protesting and ten thousand more marched through Brooklyn in solidarity. Simultaneous protests also occurred in major cities across the country. The United Press estimated that one million protesters participated in the nationwide demonstration that day. In retaliation to the American uproar Hitler threatened a one-day boycott against German Jewish businesses to be resumed three days later if 'international protests' did not cease. Wise after speaking with Undersecretary William Phillips at the State Department agreed to a brief silence on the matter" Gonzalez Maya.

Title translates roughly as â€œThe Yiddish Language.â€ Succeeded in 1931 by â€œAfn shprakhfront.â€Di Yidishe Shprakh was a â€œYiddish linguistic journal published in Kiev from 1927 to 1930. A bimonthly journal Di yidishe shprakh The Yiddish Language was published by the cooperative publishing house Kultur-lige and was the main philological publication of the Kiev Yiddish academic center. Its editor was the veteran Yiddishist Nokhem Shtif a founder of YIVO who had returned to Kiev from Germany in 1926. The journalâ€™s inaugural issue Marchâ€“April 1927 was published under the auspices of the Central Yiddish Bureau of the Ukrainian Commissariat for Education. With the next issue Di yidishe shprakh was an organ of the Chair and from July to October 1929 it was an organ of the Institute for Jewish later Proletarian Jewish Culture at the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Initially defined as a 'journal for practical Yiddish linguistics' from May to June 1927 it appeared as simply a 'journal for Yiddish linguistics. 'Shtif distinguished three language registers: the vernacular of the old generation partly represented in the works of Sholem Aleichem and predecessors; the highbrow language of modern writers such as Dovid Bergelson; and the contemporary 'culture language' most notably of the press. Although Shtif sought to target speakers of the mass 'culture language' the journalâ€™s circulation hovered around 500 copies read mainly by Yiddish teachers.Apart from Shtif who published articles on various language-planning problems the most active contributors to Di yidishe shprakh were Ber Slutski Ayzik Zaretski Elye Falkovitsh Lipe Reznik and Shimen Dobin. In early 1929 Moscow literary critic Aron Gurshteyn criticized the journal for its purist approach to language planning. In the Julyâ€“October 1929 issue Shtif published his article 'Di sotsyale diferentsiatsye in yidish' The Social Differentiation in Yiddish heralding an intensification of Soviet linguistsâ€™ anti-Hebraist campaign. That issue of Di yidishe shprakh adopted completely reformed Soviet spelling omitting for example final consonant letters.Although the lastâ€”twenty-fifthâ€”issue of the journal was dated Novemberâ€“December 1930 it included materials from the First All-Union Yiddish Language Conference convened in Kiev from 8 to 13 February 1931 that issue is present here. Published under the imprint of the Central Publishing House this issue also signaled the demise of the remaining vestiges of the Kiev Kultur-lige. Yoysef Liberbergâ€™s article 'Far parteyishkayt in der yidisher visnshaft-arbet' For a Party Approach to Yiddish Linguistics marked a full break with YIVO scholars particularly with YIVO director Max Weinreich whom Liberberg ridiculed for presenting Yiddish as an emanation of the Ashkenazic Jewsâ€™ soul. The Yiddish Language Conference decided to change the name of the journal. Between 1931 and 1939 it appeared sporadically under the title Afn shprakhfront On the Language Front reflecting its new more aggressive and politically charged approach' Gennady Estraikh in YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe 2010.

DI ROYTE VELT. VOL 6 NR. 5 ONLY 1930

193017315Kharkov Ukraine: Ukrinishn Melukhe-Farlag 1930. 1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers lacks front wrapper 8vo 160 pages. 21 cm. In Yiddish. Di Royte Velt was a monthly Yiddish literary magazine which began publication in 1924. â€œThe Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt The Red World published in 1924-33 in Kharkiv Kharkov in Russian then the Ukrainian capital was one of the strongholds of 'anti-Litvakovism'. In general terms the story of Di royte velt represents an insightful chapter in the history of Soviet Yiddish literary life of the 1920s and 1930s. In 1924 there arose the question of moving the Yiddish literary centre from Kiev to Kharkiv and of launching a Kiev-based Yiddish literary journal. This matter was discussed in a special memorandum of the Press Department of the Central Committee of the Ukrainian Communist Party. The head of the department M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky was Jewish. Motl Kiper the head of the Ukrainian Jewish Section backed this proposal arguing that Yiddish literature would benefit immensely from the capital's proletarian environment where it would liberate itself from the nationalist and Yiddishist hang-ups of Kiev. In reality the Kharkiv Jewish proletariat was more acculturated than elsewhere in Ukraine: only 36 per cent of Kharkiv Region's Jewish trade unionists were Yiddish-speakers compared with 89 per cent in the Berdichev Region 55 per cent in the Kiev Region and 42 per cent in the Odessa Region. It was no easy matter to create overnight a literary centre in a city which had a number of journalists but no literary lions. Moshe Taitsh for instance had been transferred to Moscow to reinforce the editorial staff of Der emes. For all that the apparatchiks' initiative resulted in creating in Kharkiv a new Yiddish literary journal Di royte velt. The first editors of Di royte velt were Henekh Kazakevich and M. Ravitsh-Cherkasky. While the latter was a king for a day in Yiddish literatureKazakevich was a remarkable figure in Soviet Yiddish journalismâ€¦. The first issue of the new journal appeared in September 1924 with a print-run of 2000. It was labelled a 'political-social literary-scientific bi-weekly journal'. Indeed the first issue contained only two literary works: a poem by Itsik Fefer and a story by Shmuel Persov. The other materials were devoted to theatre politics cosmology and literary criticism.
