- In Yiddish. 5 pages. Sets of lists and notes, apparently in Rubin Saltzman's handwriting. Translated Summary: One appears to be a list of possible names for a set of reorganized, purely culture-oriented, groups. The second list is either an outline for a review of cultural history, or else publications, as several of the items are simply the names of individual authors. The third page appears to be the outline for a speech or an article, and begins, "1. Today, Dec 15 marks one year since the dissolution of the Ordn. 2. What did the reaction[aries] want?..." The last page appears to deal with the status of the clubs in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Last point reads, "Reorganize the former board." Different ink used on pages.
- 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.
