- 6-page letter from Dr. Isaac Kloomok, written with fountain pen in a clear hand. Translated Summary: Begins: "Marc Chagall has mentioned to me several times that he has spoken with you concerning a book about him and about his Jewish works. He also told me that he has suggested to you that I should be the author of the book..." Kloomok, a Morgn Freiheit (Frayhayt) writer and art critic, published the book, "Marc Chagall: His Life and Work" in 1951, with the New York Philosophical Library. See also related item in which the author participates in a cultural program, April, 1948. Rubin Saltsman probably received the letter at 80 Fifth Avenue, New York.
- 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.
