Description:
Translated Summary: Nora Zhitlowsky writes to thank Saltzman for having IKUF send her a check. She discusses IKUF as a dubious source for funding translation of her late spouse Chaim Zhitlowsky book(s) into English. She describes her familial financial circumstances, and that she has been in contact with Morgenstern, the translator recommended by Saltzman.
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.
