- Flyer and fundraising sheet, with columns for donor names and amounts, and space for the collector's name and address. The English is not a translation of the Yiddish which stresses tanks to speed Hitler's downfall. The English says "Our Answer to the Soviet Jews: 10 Tanks to the Red Army." The flier is part of the IWO/JPFO's war effort campaign to buy Jewishly named tanks for the Soviet Union. Flier features color graphic with Bar Kochba tank chasing Nazi soldier.
- 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.
