Communism - Description:
- Typed with handwritten Yiddish notations: Translated Summary: "A letter about the children's home that is supported by the Ordn, Brussels, Belgium, July 7, 1946". [Dating transposes the month into the day.] This and the other penciled notes, striking through or rewording select phrases, appear to be aimed at publishing the letter for American readers. The letter was accompanied by two "full lists" of children attending the summer camp [colony]. Only the orphans and "half-orphans" are listed, but other children are at the camp as well.
- Notes:
- Author spells name וואלמאן, or 'Valman', but is addressed by Gedaliah Sandler in a different letter as וואָלמאן [Volman].
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.
