Undzer emes

Undzer emes ('Our Truth') was a Yiddish-language communist publication in interwar Lithuania, an organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Lithuania.[1] The publication was issued illegally and irregularly from Kaunas between 1923 and 1934.[2][3] It was published clandestinely on monthly basis, with a circulation of 3,000.[4] A. Lifšicas and J. Šochotas were part of the editorial team of Undzer emes.[5]

Undzer emes was printed in Berlin 1931-1933, but the Lithuanian communists could not continue publishing activities there following the National Socialist takeover in Germany.[6]
