Soviet Union - Description:
- Reply from Rubin Saltzman to Michael M. Nisselson, President of the Amalgamated Bank of New York. Letter states that although the American Fund for Palestinian Institutions has asked the Bank to inquire about a JPFO contribution, the JPFO's current priorities for Palestine are for funding a children's institution through Hadassah and Red Mogen David for Palestine. The JPFO's major priority is to support Rehabilitation and Relief efforts in the Soviet Union, Poland, Roumania [sic], France, Belgium and elsewhere in Europe.
- 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.
