Communism In Poland

This page is a work-in-progress; more names/facts will be added later.

If you thought that Jews only dominated communism in the Soviet Union, you would be wrong. In fact, it is possible that Poland's communist party contained a higher percentage of Jews than the Soviet communist machine because of Poland's large Jewish population [pre-WWII Poland had the largest Jewish population in Europe: over 3 million].

The first name shown is their adopted Polish name, the second is their real Jewish name: Here [English translation]: "The List of Jews,""changed names," "In other words, who's who."

Communism in Poland, early years:

The earliest Polish communist movement was founded in 1893 by two Jews, Rosa Luxemburg and Leo Jogiches, forming the Social Democratic Party of Poland. Since it was an illegal political entity, the party's newspaper, Sprawa Robotnicza [Workers' Cause] was published in France.
