Der royter shtern (Buenos Aires)

Der royter shtern (דער רויטער שטערן), meaning "The Red Star" in Yiddish, was a Yiddish-language newspaper published in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It served as the official organ of the Communist Party of Argentina (PCA) for the Yiddish-speaking Jewish community.

The newspaper played a significant role in disseminating communist ideology and perspectives on local and international events to Yiddish readers in Argentina. Its content typically included political analysis, reports on labor struggles, cultural commentary, and news from the Soviet Union and other communist states. It also addressed issues of specific concern to the Jewish community, often framing them within a Marxist-Leninist framework.

Der royter shtern was one of several Yiddish newspapers that flourished in Argentina during the 20th century, reflecting the vibrant Yiddish cultural and political life of the Jewish community in the country. It represented a specific political tendency within that community, offering an alternative voice to other Yiddish newspapers that held different political viewpoints.

The paper's influence diminished over time, particularly after the collapse of the Soviet Union and the decline of communist movements globally. Exact details regarding its period of publication and ultimate cessation are sometimes difficult to ascertain, but its existence and function underscore the importance of Yiddish-language media in the dissemination of political ideas within the Argentinian Jewish diaspora.
