World War II Holocaust - Description:
- Translated Summary: Received five crates of clothing. Very appreciative. Enclosed an exact list of what they received. Timing was perfect at the changing of seasons. The orphaned children feel grateful, and close to you, and are sure you will continue to care. The addressee and the date are crossed out in pencil, quote marks are added at the beginning of each paragraph, and a couple of unclear words are handwritten in for clarity. This appears to be preparation for typesetting and reprinting in an Ordn outlet, for their American members' consumption.

- Address, to the Emma Lazarus Women's Organization, is crossed out
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.
