Between the end of the nineteenth century and World War II, numerous Yiddish-speaking Jews arrived in the Americas escaping European misery and antisemitism. Most settled in the United States: it is estimated that up untilby 1924 two million Jews had passed through the gates of Ellis Island in New York. Argentina and Canada followed intied for second place, with one-tenth of that number. The Jewish communities of Mexico, Cuba, Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile were smaller still and concentrated in the capital cities. The Progressive Jewish (Di Progressive) movement in Argentina and elsewhere in South America had its origins in the formation of ethnic associations that expanded at the beginning of the twentieth century.During the 1920s, most especially in Buenos Aires, three Jewish left-wing institutional networks were organized that reflected the politics of Jewish transnational movements, whose main expression was seen in the Yiddish press, schools, theaters, and libraries. Their Latin American establishment and institutionalization, and that of the ICUF, the Idisher Cultur Farband, reveals a Jewish immigrant context whose legacy can still be traced today. Broadly speaking, the Latin American offshoots of international Yiddish movements were the Socialists of the Bund (Algemeyner Yidisher Arbeter Bund fun Rusland, Poyln un Lite [General union of Jewish workers of Russia, Poland, and Lithuania]), the Socialist Zionists of Linke Poale Tsiyon (Left Zionist workers), and the Communist YKUF (Yiddisher Kultur Farband).
