The Jewish Labour Bund (Yiddish: ייִדישער אַרבעטער בונד, romanized: Yidisher Arbeter Bund), more commonly known as the Jewish Labour Bund Melbourne (Yiddish: ייִדישער אַרבעטער בונד מעלבורן, romanized: Yidisher Arbeter Bund Melburn), the Australian Bund, or simply the Bund, is the Australian wing of the Bundist movement. It was a member of the historical International Jewish Labor Bund, and is the largest and most active Bundist organisation left in the world. It was founded in 1928 Jewish Polish immigrants, and expanded rapidly after the Second World War with the mass arrival of Holocaust survivors to Australia.[1] The Bund is currently registered only in the state of Victoria, where it is legally known as the Jewish Labour Bund, Inc., and is based primarily in the city of Melbourne.[2]
