Emma Lazarus Division - Description:
- 2-page letter, beginning "My Dear Itshe [Itche Goldberg]." Translated Summary: Waiting for a flight to Warsaw. Will probably leave this morning. Managed to get two writers for the Almanac (Almanakh), who promised I will get [their work] when I return to Paris. Visited 8 children's homes. We have not sufficiently valued their work. The Ordn [orphan] homes are a model, but they are still missing many basic things that cannot be gotten even for money in France. No books have arrived yet. If they have not been shipped, see to it right away. Same for the other countries. In the States we have no concept of what people in general and Jews in particular have gone through. I only want one thing- to be able to communicate half of what I have absorbed when I get back..." Pertains to Jewish orphanage in Le Manoir de Denouval à Andrésy, Yvelines, Île-de-France, France and others elsewhere including in Belgium
- 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.
