Here Where We Live Is Our Country: The Story of the Jewish Bund

A vivid history of the Jewish Labor Bund, a secular socialist and anti-Zionist movement that was once one of the most influential Jewish political forces in Eastern Europe. Through portraits of forgotten poets, revolutionaries, organizers and rebels — including the author’s great-grandfather’s story — Molly Crabapple follows the Bund through the Russian Revolution, the Holocaust and its destruction. The book asks what a movement built on dignity, equality and solidarity can teach us in an age of nationalism and repression. Published by One World in 2026; 480 pages; ISBN 9780593229453.
