Postwar Jewish Unity - Description:
- 5 pages. Translated Summary: Talking points phrased as questions and answers regarding the Rehabilitation Fund (a.k.a. the Million Dollar Rehabilitation Relief Fund), to aid in fundraising for the campaign. Specifies the beneficiaries such as the Polish Centralna Żydówski Komisja Historyczny w Polsce (CKŻP), and the Union des Juifs pour la Résistance et l'Entraide in France. The writer[s] convey enthusiasm about the prospect of continued support most particularly for progressive [CP affiliated] Jewish cultural organizations. Identical to the other "Questions and Answers" document, except the other copy includes a Yiddsh comment pencilled in at the bottom. Rough Translation: The Rehabilitation Fund is not only a source of vitally needed help for the Jewish communities, but also a means of forging bonds and strengthening progressive democratic positions across the Jewish world. Lists the cooperating organizations in Poland, Romania, France, and Belgium. Regarding how this appeal is distinct from that of other agencies, claims that the leaders of the UJA and other groups collecting relief money have specific political agendas with anti-progressive slants.
- 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.
