Popular Front - Description:
- Translated Summary: Rubin Saltzman responds to Henri Slovès' previous letter and expresses willingness to help Comrade Reitkin [?] enter the United States. Asks regarding his possible refugee status, whether his wife needs to accompany him, his birthdate, photo and other details, whether they can do something at a refugee office on their end. Almost uniquely, Rubin Saltzman uses a personal address as his return address, rather than the office. Notes: Henri Slovès knows Rubin Saltzman due to Slovès' involvement in IKUF/YKUF pre-War conference in France. IKUF/YKUF is sometimes also called the World Jewish Cultural Association.
- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
