- In Yiddish. Booklet 180 pages. Yiddish edition of the "Communist Manifesto" by Marx and Engels, with an introduction and notes by D. Riazanov. Translation by C. Holmstock under the editing of M. Levitan. Translated Summary: The manifesto itself is only fifty pages, and the forward, introduction and explanatory notes by Riazanov comprise the rest. Includes the obligatory line on the cover "Workers of the World, Unite." David Riazanov was a revolutionary and Marxist theorist, a critic of Bolshevism from within, whose primary contribution after the October Revolution was as an academic, archivist, researcher, and founder of the Marx-Engels Institute. He was purged and executed in January, 1938. This booklet was published by the Tsentraler farlag far di felker fun F. S. S. R. (Feh Samuch Samuch Reish), Yevsektsiya [Evsektsiya] Section.

The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
