Emma Lazarus Division - Description:
- Translated Summary: Canceled New Haven talk and is scheduling her for the Bronx. Invites her to become a member of the newly renamed IWO Chaim Zhitlowsky lodge, go to its inauguration and receive medical benefits for her daughters and grandaughter. Invites her to also become a member of the new Emma Lazarus Division. Discussed preparations for publication of her late husband's Chaim Zhitlowsky's work by a Committee in three different volumes: "Der Zig fun Menichlichen Leben;" the yet untitled "Chaim Zhitlowsky and his attitude towards the Soviet Union;" and "Yidn und Yididishkeit."
- 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.
