- Receipt from Katowice [Kattowitz], Upper Silesia. Translation: "I have received the sum of 1 million zlotys from Chaver R. Saltzman for the following institutions: Bursy dormitories [and vocational schools], 500,000; "Trud" Labor Cooperative, 250,000; Tailors' [Shneider] Cooperative, 250,000; together 1,000,000. Signed Vice Chair of Voidvodship [District] of Katowice, Cieszyński." The typed Polish receipt that corresponds to this handwritten one was issued on 1946-08-07 from the Regional Jewish Committee of Katowice (Wojewódzki Komitet Żydowski w Katowicach).
- Note:
- May also be related to the typed receipts from Komitet Żydów w Polsce w Łódź (Voidvodship [District] Jewish Committee in Łódź) from July 29 and July 31, 1946.
- Note:
- 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.
