Fellow Travellers - Description:
- In Yiddish. Descriptions of how well the children's clinic is doing. Captions for accompanying photographs. As per YIVO "The committee was formed in 1954 by left wing American Jewish circles to support the establishment of a children's clinic in Israel. The clinic was opened in 1958 in the Tel Aviv area." Ruben Brainin was a well known figure in the Zionist movement who supported Jewish colonization in Soviet Birobijan. He was also the father of journalist Joe Brainin who worked with the JPFO on many projects during and after World War II.
- 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.
