Undzer emes ('Our Truth') was a Yiddish-language communist publication in interwar Lithuania, an organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Lithuania. [1] The publication was issued illegally and irregularly from Kaunas between 1923 and 1934. [2] [3] It was published clandestinely on a monthly basis, with a circulation of 3,000. [4] Aizikas Lifšicas and J. Šochotas were part of the editorial team of Undzer emes. [5]

Undzer emes was printed in Berlin 1931–1933, but the Lithuanian communists could not continue publishing activities there following the National Socialist takeover in Germany. [6]
