Antisemitism - Description:
- Western Union "Day Letter" long telegram to the World Jewish Congress conference being held in Atlantic City, NJ. Expresses explicit political hopes for Jewish communities, "those who have suffered under the yoke of Hitler fascism together with their brothers and sisters in the liberated countries and democratic lands." Calls for antisemitism to be legally outlawed world-wide. Calls for relief and rehabilitation efforts to be funded in "war-torn Europe and in strengthening and securing the Yishuv in Palestine."
- 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.
