Women of the Yiddish left played a key role in building the international anti-fascist movement in the 1930s. In these two talks, we will look at the life stories of women such as Clara Bodian, a worker in the feather industry who was elected as a delegate to the World Congress of Women against War and Fascism in Paris in 1934, and June Croll, a leader of the Anti-Nazi Federation in New York in 1935. As committed Communists and internationalists, these Jewish women dedicated themselves to building international solidarity networks with anti-fascist women’s groups across Europe, while at the same time deepening their commitments to fight racism and anti-Semitism in the United States.
