Pedagogy - Description:
- Two pages, typed. Individual dollar amounts are not dated. This seems to be a summary (integrating some of the handwritten receipts) of all donations for the region. They are itemized by category, rather than by city or town. Egit's title accompanying his signature is "Chairman of the Regional Committee of Jews of Lower Silesia". Expenditures are for resettlement including schools, orphanages, and workshops.
- 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.
