- In Yiddish. Translated Summary: Handwritten outline list, possibly for a speech, of short-term goals (by June 20th of 'this year'). These seem to be broad and Ordn-wide including goals for membership, extensive fundraising for schools, publication of summaries and brochures, organizing a speaker's bureau, a concert bureau, etc.. Likely to be post-War given the emphasis on raising money for schools (Ordn Shule). Also in September 1947, the JPFO's School and Culture Committee was organizng a concert tour for its to branches.
- 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.
