- Children's Shul 13, Bronx. School magazine and concert program. Translated Summary: The initial greeting has a great description of the challenge of countering the tendency to assimilation in 1929. "Our path is difficult, very difficult, and therefore our joy at our celebration is doubly great. We remind ourselves and think about the nature of the children when they all arrived at the Jewish Workers School-- what was it? Not understanding or speaking a word of Yiddish. Their heroes? Jack Dempsey or Charlie Chaplin. Their press- "di grafik" [the comics]. Their pastimes- the movie and [playing] ball..." Children's essay titles: The Jews in Old and New Russia. The Strikers (a poem). A Happy Day in Sammy's Life. The Boy who Yearned for a Brother. The Eleventh of November (The Day of Peace). Spring (a poem). How I Spent the Summer. Winter (a poem). War. Perele Writes a Letter to Bobe Tobin. An Exciting Day in "Kinderland". A Dream. My Little Bird (a poem). The Start of Winter (a poem). Must We Let Ourselves be Fooled? Shmone Esray (about a shopkeeper who was praying and so did not defend himself from robbers). Choir, plays, piano and violin solos. Advertisements including from Webster Hall and Camp Kinderland. The school's address is 749 Crotona Park North, Bronx, New York. The concert is at 2075 Clinton Avenue, Bronx, New York. School directorate listed on p. 9. Concert program.
- 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.
