- Page 2 of letter. Page 1 is missing. Translated Summary. Begins, "I have just received the following from Mikhoels, Feffer..." Gives telegram word for word. "For Zaltsman Sandler Stop Receiving odd numbers Unzer Vort Stop Please send complete set your Journals Stop Would Appreciate Detailed Information Re your order for our Einikeit Stop Greetings Mikhoels, Feffer." Will answer and send them a complete set of Unzer Vort. [Adam] Rayski has asked for a check for $6,000 for the vice chairman of the Federation for Polish Jews. But you [Saltzman] said $5,675. Please advise. Molly is glad you're coming back soon. Of course would have hoped you could go to the Soviet Union. With the current situation, Palestine is impossible. The letter is from July-August 1946 when Saltzman is in Poland, most probably at the Hotel Polonia.
- Notes:
- Rayski is one of the founders in 1944 of CRIF (Conseil représentatif des institutions juives de France) and of the earlier Comité général de défense juive
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.
