Jewish Social Democratic Party
- Jewish Social Democratic Party
Jewish Social Democratic Party (in Yiddish, "Yidishe sotsial-demokratishe partey", _pl. Żydowska Partia Socjal-Demokratyczna, abbreviated ŻPS) was a political party in Galicia and later also Bukovina, established in a split from the Polish Social Democratic Party of Galicia in 1905. The party made its first public appearance on May 1, 1905, with separate May Day rallies in Kraków, Lemberg, Tarnów and Przemyśl. However, as the new party stressed that it was not a competitor of the existing Social Democratic parties, they later joined the PSDP celebrations.[Kuhn, Rick [http://auspsa.anu.edu.au/proceedings/2002/kuhn.pdf 'The tradition of Jewish anti-Zionism in the Galician socialist movement' ] Resistance and class stream, Australiasian Political Studies Association APSA50 Conference, Canberra, 2-4 October, 2002] ]JSDP held its founding congress in June 1905.[Brenner, Michael/Penslar, Derek Jonathan. "In search of Jewish community : Jewish identities in Germany and Austria, 1918-1933". Bloomington: Indiana University press, c1998. p. 118] ]Its founding theoretician and secretary was Henryk Grossman. While the Party sought affiliation to the Social Democratic Workers Party of Austria, this was refused. The JSDP became the largest organisation of Jewish workers in Galicia.Fact|date=May 2008 The Party was influenced by the Bund in Russia and was opposed to Zionism.
In 1911 the Jewish Social Democracy in Galicia, the Jewish affiliate section of the PSDP, merged into the JSDP.
In 1920, its organisation in Poland merged with the Bund. [Marcus, Joseph. "Social and political history of the Jews in Poland, 1919-1939".
