Abstract
The Jewish contribution to the history of the CPGB was out of all proportion to the size of the Jewish community in Britain, yet that contribution has only slowly been given recognition. Early accounts of the Party, focusing, as one would expect, on class rather than ethnicity, rarely mention the Jewish involvement. For example, Fred Copeman’s Reason in Revolt (1948) which is largely built around his service with the International Brigades makes no mention of the high proportion of Brigaders who were Jewish.
