A volume about comunism in the Soviet Union, edited by Malka Frumkin (1880-ca.1938). "Ester" Frumkin, real name Malka Yankelevna (Maria Yakovlevna) Livshits was born in 1880 in Minsk. Graduated from Mariinskaia Gymansium in Minsk and Pedagogical University in St.Petersburg. In 1905 one of the leaders of Minsk organization of Bund, in 1906-07 member of the Bund’s Vilna Committee. Arrested several times and in 1908 exiled from Russia. At the Czernowitz conference called for the recognition of Yiddish "as the only national language of the Jews". After the Conference Ester stayed in Czernowitz for several months where she played an instrumental role in organizing Jewish Social Democratic Party of Bukovina. Ester Frumkin was one of the few Bund leaders, who advocated continuity of Jewish tradition: "When we speak of education in a proletartian spirit, we do not mean that children should recite part of the Erfurt Program instead of the "Shema", or a chapter of the Communist Manifesto instead of the "Modeh Ani." (Transl. by Nora Levin, 1977). She "wrote about religion as a necessary element in the raising of a "folk-child" and was eloquent about the positive educational value of religious customs such as the blessing of the candles" (N. Levin, 1977) - something that some other left-wing Yiddishists realized only 90 years later. In 1917 she was elected to the Central Committee of the Bund. After the 1917 Revolution she was a leader of Kombund and Evsektsia. Editor of the 8 volume edition of Lenin’s "Oysgeveylte verk" in Yiddish. Author of "Lenin un zayn Arbet" (Moskve, 1925), "Oktyaber-revolutsye" (Moskve, 1928), and other books. Served as an editor of "Emes" - a major Yiddish publishing house. In 1935-36 she was the Rector of the Communist University in Moscow. Arrested in 1938, died of starvation in 1943 in Karlag - a concentration camp for the political prisoners in Kazakhstan.
