YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe history of Jewish revolutionary groups is fraught with complexity, violence and surprise — as author Molly Crabapple discovered when she traveled across eastern Europe to dig through the archives of her ancestors. Her journey is the subject of her new book, Here Where We Live Is Our Country. In it, Crabapple reveals the largely-forgotten history of the Jewish Labor Bund: a secular, anti-Zionist, and socialist political party founded in the late 1800s. In today’s episode, Crabapple joins NPR’s Leila Fadel to discuss the book, and why the Bund remains so controversial to this day.
