Bundist Legacy after the Second World War offers an account on post-war Bund, the most important Jewish political party in East Europe before the outbreak of the Second World War. This subject area has attracted more attention in the last few years, when a new generation of scholars is trying to assess the “transformation” of memory and the political, cultural and pedagogical role played by the last members of Bund. This volume aims to create a new “Bund” (union) after the end of historical Bund, and help to answer the question, “What is to be done after the birth of Israel?” The volume is one of the first attempts to answer this crucial existential and political question.
Vincenzo Pinto, Ph.D (1974) is an Italian historian, teacher and journalist. He has published monographs, translations and articles on Zionism, anti-Semitism and Jewish contemporary identity. Among them, the biography of Ze'ev Vladimir Jabotinsky (2007) and the first Italian critical edition of Adolf Hitler's
Mein Kampf (2017).
