About this listen
A vivid, human and radical history of one of the most powerful revolutionary movements of the twentieth century - told through the lives and in the voices of countless forgotten men and women
‘A gripping, human story of love, idealism and betrayal - and an immense, rigorous contribution to the historical record. Reading it feels revolutionary’ Naomi Klein
Here Where Live Is Our Country is the story of a revolutionary movement – the Jewish Bund – which played a part in nearly every major conflict in Eastern Europe from 1900-1945, but still remains an almost unknown part of twentieth-century history.
The movement’s central philosophy of “herenes” – the belief that Jews had a right to freedom and dignity in the countries where they lived – led them to fight the Tsar, reject Zionism, resist the Nazis, and ultimately help lead the Warsaw ghetto revolt. It is also a philosophy that immediately resonates with the political situation all over the world today.
In this book, Molly Crabapple tells the story of the Bund through the lives of the bold and brilliant individuals who were pivotal to carrying out the doctrine, including her own great-grandfather, through whom she first discovered the movement.
‘Crabapple, with this great work, adds to her growing legacy as a unique American genius’ Jason Stanley
‘Recounts, with a novelist’s mastery of detail, one of the most extraordinary rebellions of the human spirit in modern history’ Pankaj Mishra
‘A masterful storyteller who possesses an admirable sense of history and writes with verve and wit … Here Where We Live Is Our Country is a true tour de force’ Jon Lee Anderson©2026 Molly Crabapple (P)2026 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc
Critic Reviews
A remarkable book. With vivid scenes and lively characters, Molly Crabapple brings to life the marginalized and oftentimes forgotten history of the Bund. In pages that read like a novel, Crabapple immerses us in questions of identity, nationalism, internationalism, class, and intersectionality which undermined past revolutions and which continue to haunt our contemporary struggles. With the brilliance of a scholar and the creativity of an artist, Crabapple delves into personal and communal histories, intimately reconstructing the genealogy of a rebellion for dignity and justice, and in the process, gifting us nothing short of a roadmap for our revolution today (TAREQ BACONI)
Molly Crabapple’s words are as glorious as her colours, her writing as vivid as her painting ... A reminder that in even in the most dehumanizing of times a loving humanity might endure, even if only fleetingly (GREG GRANDIN)
Here is Where We Live is Our Country is a captivating and meticulously researched story of family, community, and solidarity. Molly Crabapple takes us through decades of forgotten memories to rediscover an essential part of Jewish history and a revolutionary movement whose organization and ideals are more relevant than ever, and which may yet point the way towards a better future (MIKE DUNCAN, New York Times-bestselling host of Revolutions podcast)
