Intelligentsia - Description:
- Received a letter from Morgn Freiheit (Frayhayt) that they will not print his poem, leaving only the 'Tribune' as a possible venue for it to see the light of day. Has a correction for the second line of the second stanza. Check mark indicates the matter has been dealt with. The postcard concludes with a promise that he is thinking about the call for tank poems, showing that even the more professional writers affiliated with the Ordn engaged with and responded to this general call for work. Notes: the solicited poetry is in support of the IWO/JPFO's war effort campaign to buy Jewishly named tanks for the Soviet Union.
- Notes:
- This correction has been made to the manuscript of the poem "In Difficult Days" 5276b36f03_17.pdf
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.
