In the film L’Armée du Crime, one of the young resistance fighters calls out to his friend to join him: ‘Hey, Krasu!’ Henri Krasucki was a great resistance fighter before becoming the emblematic trade union leader of the 1980s. This commitment to working-class Jews was very present throughout the twentieth century on both sides of the Atlantic, men and women, such as Emma Goldman. At this conference, the great historian Philippe Boukara presents the trade union struggle of Jewish workers in search of a concrete improvement in living conditions.
