General Jewish Labour Party

The General Jewish Labour Party (Yiddish: אלגעמײנע ײדישע ארבעטס-פארטיי, Algemeyne Yidishe Arbets-Partei, abbreviated A.Y.A.P, Polish: Ogólnożydowska Partia Pracy, abbreviated OŻPP) was a Jewish socialist political party in Poland.

The party was founded in Lviv in November 1931 by a leftwing group of the General Jewish Labour Bund in Poland in East Galicia, which upheld the idea of dictatorship of the proletariat, a faction of the Poale Zion Left and young left-wing Zionists.

[1][2] The party called for a workers' government, equality for Jewish working people, education in Yiddish language for Jewish children in state schools, abolition of discrimination in the labour market and to struggle against anti-semitism.

[4] The party was banned by the Ministry of Interior on July 16, 1934, a move welcomed by mainstream Jewish leaders in East Galicia.
