Henri Polak was a Dutch social-democratic trade unionist and politician, best known for founding and serving as president of the General Dutch Diamond Workers’ Union (ANDB) from 1894 and for cofounding the Social Democratic Workers’ Party. Born into the Jewish community and trained as a diamond polisher, Polak brought to the Netherlands the trade-union practices and Marxist ideas he absorbed during a stay in London, promoting organization, education, and respectability among workers who were often marginalized.
His activity went beyond the ANDB: he was the first president of the Dutch Confederation of Trade Unions (NVV, 1905–1908), held municipal offices, served in the House of Representatives and the Senate, and took part in cultural and editorial initiatives aimed at worker education. He received an honorary doctorate from the University of Amsterdam in 1932 in recognition of his services to the labor movement and to cultural work.
Persecuted as a Jew, a Marxist, and a trade unionist after the Nazi occupation, Polak was arrested in 1940; his failing health led to his death from pneumonia in 1943 before he could be deported. His legacy endures in the institutionalization of trade unionism and in the promotion of culture and education among workers in the Netherlands.
