- Translated Summary: Announcement of the Million Dollar fundraising campaign for postwar relief, in the Soviet Union, in liberated Europe and in Palestine. A quarter is to be raised in cash, the rest in donated goods. Describes the need, particularly for medical infrastructure and help for orphans. Has blanks to fill in the specific amount of money each district is expected to raise. Gives suggestions for how to organize the fundraising. Describes how to calculate values for donated goods [for example, $1 per pound for old clothing, $2 per pound for new]. See brochures for the campaign and its recipients.
- 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.
