Description:
In Yiddish. Translated Summary: Received your letter of April 5th. Have sent school books. They will arrive slower than this air mail letter. Do not have Ethics of the Fathers or natural science books. Sending what we use in our supplemental schools. [See handwritten response of May 10]
Notes:
The material from Poland shows post-war conditions and JPFO fund raising and relief efforts.
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.
