Folks-Sztyme

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Folks-Sztyme ( Yiddish פאלקסשטימע / YIVO : Folks-shtime ; “Volksstimme” / “Voice of the People”, Polish Głos Ludu ) was a Jewish newspaper founded in 1946 in Łódź in Yiddish and Polish , which until 1991, later only as a weekly , existed.

history

A few years after it was founded in Łódź , the newspaper moved to Warsaw . It was originally an organ of the central committee of the Polska Partia Robotnicza (PPR; German Polish Workers 'Party) and the Polska Zjednoczona Partia Robotnicza (PZPR; German: Polish United Workers' Party, short: PVAP), since 1956 it was the printed organ of the Social-Cultural Society of the Jews in Poland . For many years it was the only Yiddish newspaper in Poland (with the exception of the scientific almanac Bleter far geszichte ).

According to the American Jewish Yearbook , the Folks-Sztyme was the only communist party newspaper ("The only newspaper was the Communist Folks-Sztyme."). It came out four days a week and had an illustrated weekly supplement, Yiddishe Szriften , devoted to literature and the arts, published under the auspices of the Social-Cultural Society.

The newspaper also published articles by Jewish writers from the Soviet Union, for example by Emanuel Kazakewitsch

Since 1968 it has been published in the form of a weekly magazine. As the surviving Polish Jews continued to emigrate, their readership also gradually declined. In 1991 the newspaper was discontinued.

Editors-in-chief

The editors-in-chief were Hirsch (Grzegorz) Smolar (1950–1968) and, after his dismissal from all offices, Samuel Tenenblatt (1969–1982), most recently Adam Kwaterko (1982–1991).

Dos Jidisze word

The only bilingual Jewish magazine in Yiddish and Polish currently appears in Poland once a month - the magazine Słowo Żydowskie - Dos Jidisze Wort , which was published in 1992 instead of the Folks-Sztyme .
