- In Yiddish. Translated Summary: Article describing how he sold 250 copies of Naylebn in less than two months. "I believe," Zinger writes, "in the power of the printed word, above all at this time." Dos Naye leben was originally associated with Dr. Chaim Zhitlowsky: this Naylebn (Nayelebn) was a publication of IKOR (ICOR), the Association for Jewish Colonization in the Soviet Union, Gezelshaft far Yiddishe Kolonizatyse in Ratn-Farband. The word "Shlogler" translates to "Stakhanovite", a Soviet worker who is exceptionally hardworking and productive. פאַרשפּרייטער "farshpreyter" indicates a distributer or promoter. Based on Singer's correspondence with Rubin Saltzman, his preferred address after September 1942 is 2007 Union Street, Brooklyn, New York.

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.
