Bernard Goldstein (Yiddish: בערנאַרד גאָלדשטיין) (1959–1889), sometimes called "חבֿר בערנאַרד“ (romanized: "Khaver Bernard", translated: "Comrade Bernard"), was a Polish Jewish socialist, union organizer, and leader of the General Jewish Labour Bund in Poland prior to World War II. During the war, he was active in the Warsaw Ghetto, helping smuggle in arms in preparation for the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
After Poland's liberation from German occupation, he emigrated to the United States and wrote his autobiography, Five Years in the Warsaw Ghetto (Yiddish: פֿינף יאָר אין וואַרשעווע געטאָ) (originally titled The Stars Bear Witness).
