All the while, Crabapple never lets us forget that they were also fighting for a world that would not give rise to such evil. This book is many things: an ode to the grand legacy of anti-Zionist Jewishness; a profound reflection on whether history has morals; and an essential resource for anti-fascist history, concepts and tools.  Molly Crabapple, with this great work, adds to her growing legacy as a unique American genius -- JASON STANLEY, author of How Fascism Works\u003cbr\u003eMolly Crabapple not only recounts, with a novelist’s mastery of detail, one of the most extraordinary rebellions of the human spirit in modern history. She animates, too, elegantly and boldly, a political and spiritual tradition that the zealots of ethnonationalism had managed to suppress for too long.

With vivid scenes and lively characters, Molly Crabapple brings to life the marginalized and oftentimes forgotten history of the Bund. In pages that read like a novel, Crabapple immerses us in questions of identity, nationalism, internationalism, class, and intersectionality which undermined past revolutions and which continue to haunt our contemporary struggles. With the brilliance of a scholar and the creativity of an artist, Crabapple delves into personal and communal histories, intimately reconstructing the genealogy of a rebellion for dignity and justice, and in the process, gifting us nothing short of a roadmap for our revolution today -- TAREQ BACONI\u003cbr\u003eMolly Crabapple’s words are as glorious as her colours, her writing as vivid as her painting ...

Molly Crabapple is a masterful storyteller who possesses an admirable sense of history and writes with verve and wit. In this book, she tells not only the fascinating, long neglected story of the socialist fighters of the Jewish Bund - but also those of Zionism, Soviet communism, fascism, the plague of antisemitism - and explains how it has all fuelled the unfinished duels of the present day.
