Bilingualism - Description:
- Translated Summary: Describes the appeal for one thousand tanks and five hundred bombers for the Red Army as originating in a May 24, 1942 meeting of the Anti-Fascist Committee. In Yiddish it describes the Bar Kochba tank as taking out Hitler faster; describes the bombers as wreaking revenge. Names the tanks to be bought as Bar Kokhba, Yehuda Maccabi, Haym Solomon, Baruch Spinoza and Albert Einstein. The brochure is part of the IWO/JPFO's war effort campaign to buy Jewishly named tanks for the Soviet Union to support the appeal made by the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee of the USSR (JAFC).
- 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.
