Camp Hemshekh (Yiddish: המשך; "continuation" Literally: Camp "Continuation")[1] was a Jewish summer camp in the United States that was founded in 1959 by Holocaust survivors who were active in the Jewish Labour Bund, a Jewish, socialist workers' party in Eastern Europe.[2] The camp was sponsored by the Bund as well.[3] Camp Hemshekh had as its goal instilling in its campers the ideals of the Jewish socialist movement that flourished in interwar Poland: socialism, secular Yiddish culture, equality and justice, and the Bundist concept of doikayt, "hereness," that Jews should live, build their culture and struggle for their rights wherever they dwell, rather than seeking refuge in a Jewish homeland.[1][4][5] A Hemshekh camper is called a Hemshekhist (the plural is Hemshekhistn).[citation needed]
