In the 1920s, Eastern European Jewish immigrants settled in Antwerp and became economically active in the diamond industry. While historians have focused on the role of Jewish commerce and the development of the diamond industry in Antwerp, the role of Jewish labour has been paid only scant attention. The current article focuses on the specific economic position of Eastern European Jewish immigrant diamond workers in Antwerp. It sheds light on the social and working conditions under which Jewish immigrants laboured. The reaction of Belgian diamond workers and their union towards the arrival of Jewish immigrants in the industry is also discussed. Special interest is accorded to the attempts of Jewish political parties and the Diamantbewerkersbond van België (ADB, General Diamond Workers Union of Belgium) to unionize the new arrivals. In this way, the article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the dynamics between immigrant labour, union organization, and (imported) political ideologies in the attempts to integrate foreign workers within the industry.

安特卫普的欢乐:两次世界大战期间的钻石、犹太移民工人和劳工组织



1920 年代,东欧犹太移民在安特卫普定居,并在钻石行业变得经济活跃。虽然历史学家一直关注犹太商业的作用和安特卫普钻石业的发展,但犹太劳工的作用却很少受到关注。本文重点介绍安特卫普东欧犹太移民钻石工人的具体经济地位。它揭示了犹太移民劳动的社会和工作条件。还讨论了比利时钻石工人及其工会对犹太移民进入该行业的反应。犹太政党和 Diamantbewerkersbond van België(ADB,比利时钻石工人总工会)试图将新来者组织成工会的尝试受到了特别的关注。通过这种方式,本文旨在有助于更好地理解移民劳工、工会组织和(进口的)政治意识形态之间的动态,以试图将外国工人融入该行业。
