Culture Front- Lectures, Publishing - Description:
- In Yiddish. 5 pages. Speaker Materials, No. 1. Translated Summary: Section headings: Overview of antisemitism. The failure of Denazification. Antisemitism in the United States. Page 4 includes the statement, "The Soviet Union has demonstrated that antisemitism can be eradicated." The last paragraph reads, in full: "A successful fight against antisemitism must be based on active opposition to the reactionary plan for a Third World War, on the battle to lead American politics back on the path to unity among the Big Three, and on the battle against the trusts and the monopolies." An item with that title was issued in a LA Newsletter by that name in Yiddish (1950).
- Note:
- 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.
