- 13 pages from the National Executive Committee 1946 meeting. Reflects issues of emigration to British Mandate Palestine in wake of Holocaust.
- 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.
