Intelligentsia - Description:
- Translated Summary: Addressed to Hirschkan, with no first name. This letter informs the recipient, possibly the author's widow or daughter, that there will be an evening of the Women's Clubs where Hirschkan's books will be discussed and distributed. Malka Lee [the poet Malke Leopold-Rappaport] has also been invited to the evening event, at 66 Clinton Street, New York City. [Zevi Hirschkan's novel, "Boris Kabalkin" was published by Farlag Morgn Freiheit (Frayhayt) in 1940, two years after his death.]
- 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.
