Morris Winchevsky - in The US

In The US

After immigrating to New York City, Winchevsky joined with Abraham Cahan and Louis Miller, to other prominent New York Jewish socialists, to found what would later become the largest Yiddish-language daily newspaper in the world, The Forward in 1897. This got them kicked out of the Socialist Labor Party. They would later migrate to the Social Democracy of America, the Social Democratic Party of America and the Socialist Party of America.

Winchevsky was later selected as the representative of the Jewish Socialist Federation to the American Jewish Congress when the AJC met to select its delegates to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. At the meeting of the Congress, Winchevsky was publicly censured by the JSF for expressing Zionist sentiments.

He was subsequently associated with the Communist Party USA and its Yiddish daily Morgen Freiheit.
