Daloy Politsey

Daloy Politsey (Yiddish: דאַלוי פּאָליציי, lit.'Down with [the] Police'), also known as In Ale Gasn (Yiddish: אין אַלע גאַסן, lit.'In Every Street') is a Yiddish-language anti-authoritarian protest song. The modern commonly known & recorded version of the song is actually a combination of two different protest songs from the late 19th and early 20th century Russian Empire; Hey Hey Daloy Politsey and In Ale Gasn respectively. The modern song was recorded in 1972 by the Yiddish Youth Ensemble (Susan Finesilver, Betty Glaser, Judy Gottlieb, Khane Kliger, Moishe Mlotek, Moishe Rosenfeld, Dina Schwartzman, Josh Waletzky; Musical Director: Zalmen Mlotek) on their album of Yiddish Songs of Work and Struggle (1972, vinyl). The recording later appeared in the soundtrack for the documentary film Free Voice of Labor: The Jewish Anarchists.[1] As such the song is often rendered as In Ale Gasn/Daloy Politsey to highlight this combination. The two songs were historically associated with the Bundist movement (although none of the lyrics are explicitly Bundist) along with the Jewish anarchist movement.[1] The two songs were sung during the Russian revolutions as a rallying cry for Revolutionary Socialist and Anarchist Jews.[1]
