Der royter shtern ('Red Star') was a Yiddish-language communist newspaper published in Argentina. The first issue of Der royte shtern was published at the time of the sixth anniversary of the October Revolution. [1] [2] The newspaper was the weekly organ of the Jewish Section (Idsektie) of the Communist Party of Argentina. [2] [3] Der royte shtern played an important role in the Yiddish communist press in the country, and around it various cultural and thematic publications were issued. [3] As of 1925, Der royter shtern had 2,000 subscribers. [2] As of 1927, the weekly edition stood at 3,500 copies (which can be compared with the figure for the Spanish-language organ of the party, La Internacional, at 6,000 and more than the Italian-language organ Ordine Nuovo). [3]

The newspaper continued to be published until 1934. [2] Der royter shern was replaced by Soviet, but only one issue of the new publication was published. [3]
