Partisans - Description:
- Edited English draft of Yiddish letter to Adam Rayski by June Gordon with a "Copy to Brother Novick." Comments appear to be June Gordon's. Explains importance of foster parent adoption and having the paperwork prepared in France be timely and appropriate. Part of a larger, ongoing correspondence with those at 14 rue de Paradis who are in charge of the Jewish children's home in Andrésy. Written in 1947 apparently prior to 1947-11-05, in which she sent a letter to Rayski confirming that his receipt of children's clothing had indeed been received.
- 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.
