- Date added in pen on top. Translated Summary: Written in the form of a press release, announcement or news article. Description of the New Year's greeting from the Central Committee of Jews in Poland (CKŻP, Centralny Komitet Żydów w Polsce), and of the Ordn's response, promising to continue to provide support (in the amount of 1 million dollars) for the reconstruction in Poland. The JPFO launched the "Million Dollar Campaign for the Rehabilitation of European Jews" in 1946-1947.
- 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.
