Communism - Description:
- Gedaliah Sandler's marked up draft of cable to be sent to Rubin Saltzman in Polonia Hotel, Warsaw relating the JPFO U.S. response to July 4, 1946 Kielce pogrom in Poland. Within two weeks of the pogrom, can be seen in the evolution of IWO / JPFO response to Kielce. A strong shift of assigning "blame" to outside agitators (U.S., U.K, Polish Fascists) is deployed to support a defence of Polish Communist government.
- Notes:
- The material from Poland shows post-war conditions and JPFO fund raising and relief efforts.
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.
