IWO JPFO Organizational History - Description:
- In Yiddish. 12 pages. Translated Summary: Though titled “problems”, the conspectus document outlines a very broad range of issues to be discussed during the upcoming 7th IWO Convention (2nd JPFO) on June 12–19, 1947. Topics. American internal and international politics at the outset of the Cold War. The role of national groups in America. Discrimination and civil rights. The current state of the JPFO including financial resources, membership. Jewish issues, including: anti-Semitism, the need for unity across the Jewish community, the DP camps, and Palestine. The Ordn’s perspective and current focus for activities, including: postwar relief and rehabilitation, the schools movement, the Emma Lazarus Division, and the youth branches.
- 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.
