- In Yiddish. Speech written for tenth anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Content makes clear the author is Rubin Saltzman. Translated Summary: Recounts 1946 trip to Warsaw, along with editor [Pesach] Novick [פּסח נאָוויק] of the Morgn Freiheit (Frayhayt). The physical devastation and ruin of the city, and signs of the heroic resistance, accounts of survivors. Draws political lessons from the times. The shameful behavior of the Jewish nationalists, removing or coaxing away Jews who had come back to rebuild, despite assurances from the government and new laws against antisemitism. The help the Polish government gave to survivors. The West's back-door means of bringing back fascism. Ends by quoting a poem by Warsaw poet Mosheh Shkliar (Moshe Szklar) [משה שקליאר].
- Notes:
- Date is very late for JPFO
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.
