Jewish Lodges - Description:
- Letter with minutes from Doretta Tarmon of the February 20, 1946 meeting of the consultative body for Jewish History Week. Proposes to coordinate the campaign with the committee involved with publishing the Black Book and with the Executive Committee of the CIO. Proposes to involve Albert Einstein and suggests that playwright Arthur Miller approach Einstein. Also proposes to involve personalities such as Edward G. Robinson and Paul Muni as well as famous figures not involved with the Jewish Left (e.g., Arthur Rubinstein). Tarmon is a field director for New Masses.
- 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.
