Israel, Zionism - Description:
- In Yiddish. 2 pages, badly water damaged, from Joel Lazebnik to Rubin Zaltsman. Translated Summary: Received letter of September 15. Received the report of the meeting of the executive of the Jewish Congress. Describes the meeting as reactionary and 'folks-fayntlekhe'. "They spoke of us [presumably the Jewish community in Poland] with foam on their lips, even libeled us. They see us merely as an instrument of their general Zionist politics." Appears to discuss Culture Congress and other cultural work in the water-damaged part of the letter. The rest of the letter continues the discussion of Zionism and socialism.
- 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.
