Fellow Travellers - Description:
- Flyer and ticket order form to attend the March 27, 1946 Black Book publication at a Madison Square Garden Rally to "Demand Justice for the Six Million Dead." The American version of the Black Book was jointly published by the Black Book Committee, composed of four organizations: the American Committee of Jewish Artists; Writers and Scientists (CAWS); The World Jewish Congress; The Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee of the USSR (JAFC); and the Vaad Leumi of Palestine. Rubin Saltzman is on the Joint Executive Committe of the Black Book Committee along with Joe Brainin, Nachum Goldman, B. Z. Goldberg, and others. The call is to demand the outlawing of anti-Semitism and to continue the fight against fascism.
- 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.
