Soviet Union- Birobidzhan - Description:
- Fundraising brochure from the JPFO for its Million Dollar Rehabilitation Fund, as part of its ongoing Jewish Relief and Rehabilitation Fund drive. Grantees include Hadassah, Centralny Komitet Żydów Polskich (CKŻY), and Union des juifs pour la résistance et l'entraide, the American Jewish Council to Aid Russian Rehabilitation, Solidarité Juive, Aide aux victimes de l’oppression Nazie, and the American Birobidjan Committee. The beneficiaries specify that help has been received for orphans, Yiddish Theater and publishing, and a power shovel among other projects. Previous brochure for the million-dollar campaign to rehabilitate the destroyed Jewish life in Europe laid out the scale of the need including the particular problems faced by surviving children, and the founding of children's homes in Poland, France and Belgium.
- 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.
