Anna Rozental (October 14, 1872 – 1940) was a Bundist activist in the Russian Empire and later Soviet Russia. Her Vilna apartment served as a site of refuge for Bundists fleeing the German occupation elsewhere.[1]
Rozental was born as Anna Heller on October 14, 1872, in Volkovisk, Russian Empire (now Vawkavysk in Belarus), to a wealthy, well-respected family. At the age of six, her father declared bankruptcy and her family was forced to leave the city. After her father's death in 1889, she moved to Vilna (now Vilnius, Lithuania) and first studied to be a teacher, then a dentist.
Activism
Rozental first became active in the Hovevei Zion. The Russian socialist leader Arkadi Kremer was her mathematics teacher and got her involved with the Bund in 1897. Here she met her future husband Pavel (Pinai) Rozental. The couple moved to Białystok in 1899 where she worked as a dentist. They became involved with the local Bund here after the arrest of the first party leadership. They were arrested in 1902 and banished to Siberia. They were released as result of the Russian Revolution of 1905, they returned to Vilna, where they continued their work in the Bund.
