From 1940 to 1943, \u201cSolidarit\u00e9\u201d was the main clandestine mass organization of the Jewish section of the Main-d’\u0152uvre Immigr\u00e9e (M.O.I.). It played a social and political role. It spurred the creation of several other groups that joined it in the Jewish Resistance. In 1943, it was incorporated into the UJRE (Union of Jews for Resistance and Mutual Aid). <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In September 1940, the Jewish section, which had been banned, was reestablished. Louis Gronowski, national leader of the M.O.I., brought together nine progressive Jewish activists in Paris: Alfred Grant, Jacques Kaminski, Isaac Krysztal, David Kutner, Mounie Nadler, Jacques Ravine, Adam Rayski, Sophie Schwartz, and Teschka Tenenbaum. Together, they founded the clandestine organization \u201cSolidarit\u00e9\u201d (later to become the Union of Jews for Resistance and Mutual Aid, or UJRE). <\/p>

Social action is never separate from political action there, and \u201cSolidarit\u00e9\u201d has a fourfold mission:<\/p>

1.<\/strong> Provide material assistance to the families of Jewish combatants who were killed, taken prisoner, or interned in camps run by the Vichy regime.<\/p>

2.<\/strong> Prevent the isolation of the Jewish population.<\/p>

3.<\/strong> Clarify the Communist Party\u2019s political stance in general and toward Jews in particular.<\/p>

According to the PCF, the eradication of antisemitism requires the establishment of communism. Under the current circumstances, the Party believes that the \u201cJewish question\u201d falls within the purview of the Jewish section of the M.O.I. and \u201cSolidarit\u00e9.\u201d <\/p>

4.<\/strong> Disseminate information about the overall situation.<\/p>

The communists have always recognized the importance of the press. Former staff members of *Na\u00efe Presse*<\/em> (including L. Gronowski, the former editor-in-chief) are rallying once again. <\/p>

The newspaper reappeared clandestinely in September 1940 under a Yiddish title\u2014 <\/strong> *Unzer Wort*\u2014 <\/em>that <\/strong>had already <\/strong>been used briefly in October 1939 . Subsequently <\/em>, the French version would be titled *Notre Parole* or <\/em> *Notre Voix*,<\/em> <\/em><\/strong>the voice of the Jewish Communist opposition to P\u00e9tainism and anti-Semitism.<\/p>

In November 1940, fifty \u201cSolidarity\u201d groups were active in Paris.<\/p>

Very quickly, groups of Jewish intellectuals, artists, doctors, and lawyers began to form in association with \u201cSolidarit\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>

In early 1941, organizations such as the Union of Jewish Women (UFJ) and the Union of Jewish Communist Youth (UJCJ) would play a specific role alongside \u201cSolidarit\u00e9\u201d in the struggle against the Vichy regime and, later, against the occupying forces.<\/p>

These organizations became involved in the Resistance at an early stage. Beginning in the summer of 1941, they provided fighters for the emerging armed struggle and supported it both politically and materially. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
