Admin History/Bio
Poale Zion (Workers of Zion) was a Marxist Zionist Jewish workers movement that originated in the Russian Empire around 1900. This movement spread around the world and in late 1905 the Socialist Jewish Labour Party (Poale Zion) was formed in Canada.
In 1919, the Poale Zion Zionist labour movement split into two factions: Left Poale Zion (later Achdut Avodah Poale Zion) and Achdut Avodah (later Mapai). J. B. Salsberg affiliated with the Left Poale Zion, which was founded on the principals established by Ber Borochov and became known as the Borochov Movement. In Canada, the Borochov Movement consisted of various political, cultural and educational organizations. The political branch was the Achdut Avodah Poale Zion. It promoted Zionism and socialism both in Canada and Israel.
Scope and Content
File consists of records documenting J. B. Salsberg's involvement in the Achdut Avodah Poale Zion movement. Included is correspondence with the Jewish Socialist Labor Party Poale-Zion of America, Undzer Veg bulletins, Hashomer Hatzair newsletters, and a Yiddish booklet by Chaim Zhitlovsky entitled "From Assimilation to Labour Zionism" (published in New York, 1919). Also included are two photographs of J. B. Salsberg that were taken in Boston, likely at the second annual convention of the Poale-Zion of America (1923).
