Yiddish revolutionary songs

Many revolutionary songs have been written in Yiddish since the end of the 19th century until today

Many revolutionary songs have been written in Yiddish, by composers such as David Edlestadt, Mordkhay Gebirtig, Morris Winchevsky, or spontaneously created and chanted by the masses during street demonstrations.
