The General Jewish Labour Party (Yiddish: אלגעמײנע ײדישע ארבעטס-פארטיי, Algemeyne Yidishe Arbets-Partei, abbreviated A.Y.A.P, Polish: Ogólnożydowska Partia Pracy, abbreviated OŻPP) was a Jewish socialist political party in Poland. The party was founded in Lviv in November 1931 by a leftwing group of the General Jewish Labour Bund in Poland in East Galicia, which upheld the idea of dictatorship of the proletariat, a faction of the Poale Zion Left and young left-wing Zionists. The party was aligned with the Communist Party of Poland.[1][2] The party called for a workers' government, equality for Jewish working people, education in Yiddish language for Jewish children in state schools, abolition of discrimination in the labour market and to struggle against anti-semitism.[3]
The party was led by Zigmunt Stein.[4]
The party was banned by the Ministry of Interior on July 16, 1934, a move welcomed by mainstream Jewish leaders in East Galicia.[2][3] Several activists of the party were imprisoned for being members of the party. The party later merged into the Communist Party of Poland.[4]
