General Jewish Labour Bund in Romania

Founded in 1922, shortly after the establishment of Greater Romania, it united Jewish socialists in Bukovina, Bessarabia and the Romanian Old Kingdom.

The General Jewish Labour Bund in Romania was founded at a conference in Cernăuţi (now Chernivtsi, Ukraine) on January 6–7, 1923.

[4] The party had a strong influence in the Yiddish school movement in Bessarabia,[4] but was in competition over political support with the Zionists at Poale Zion and the Agudat Yisrael of Haredi Jews.

[1][3] At the 1922 Senate election in Czernowitz, the Bundist Leon Gheller, standing for the Romanian Social Democratic Party, was defeated by 1,991 votes to 3,800 for Salo Weisselberger.

[7] Although it survived the disappearance of its Russian mother party (persecuted by the Soviet authorities after 1920),[2] the General Jewish Labour Bund of Romania itself ceased to function at the time of the Second World War.
