Jewish Lodges - Description:
- Letter outlining upcoming monthly educational resources and themes. April focus is Passover and the Warsaw Ghetto. Resources are "Never to Forget, the Battle of the Warsaw Ghetto" by Howard Fast and William Gropper as well as a reading or speech titled "Passover- Warsaw Ghetto 1943." May focus includes May Day material. June focus is on the Sholem Aleichem anniversary.
- 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.
