Postwar Order and Social Contract - Description:
- In Yiddish. Translated Summary: Rubin Saltzman received their letter of November 3rd with a report about the activities of the Central Committee of Jews in Poland (CKŻP, Centralny Komitet Żydów w Polsce) over the last 9 months. Thanks them for better acquainting the JPFO with the achievements and problems facing the Polish Jewish community. Sent a letter and telegram a few days ago. Requests faster response so he can take care of matters before leaving New York. Requests a report on the help they received in the last year, particularly from the Jewish Workers Committee, the American Federation for Polish Jews and other organizations. This report is needed to show the Jewish public. Letter intimates a competitve ideological landscape in supporting relief work.
- Notes:
- Dr. Berman was forced out of the CKŻP in 1949.
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.
