- Note written in Yiddish says, "Naye Prese" [the Paris Yiddish Communist newspaper] and the date. The columnist/interviewer's name is cut off at the bottom of the article, but the initials appear to be Mem. Shin. [M. Sh.]. Translated Summary: Saltzman is described as an already well-known indefatigable social activist, and member of the executive of the American Jewish Congress. The interview concerns Saltzman's visit and relief work. Published the same day as the article about the Andrésy orphanage article and the fundraising campaign with the Union des juifs pour la résistance et l'entraide that involved Marc Chagall.
- 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.
