Ufboj ( Yiddish: אופבוי, 'Construction') was a Yiddish language journal published in Riga, Latvia. [1] It was launched as a monthly political and literary journal, by the daily newspaper Kamf in October 1940. [1] Initially it was printed in 3,000 copies. [2] The first issue had 79 pages. [3] Ufboj used Yiddishist spelling. [1] Veteran journalist Max Schatz-Anin was prominent contributor to the publication. [4] [5] A significant number of Yiddish writers from different Soviet republics (including new Soviet republics in Lithuania and Moldova) were first published in Ufboj. [6]
In February 1941, as Kamf had ceased publishing, Ufboj was converted into a twice-monthly organ of the Communist Party of Latvia. [1] H. Margolis served as the editor of Ufboj, B. Schneid became its deputy editor. [1] The format was changed from 25x17 cm to 36x25 cm. [3] By February 1941 circulation increased to 5,000. [1] By April the circulation had increased to 6,000. [1] [3] The twelfth and last issue of Ufboj of 1941 was published in June 1941. [1] [3]
