Jacob Pat Papers Bulk, 1944-1960 1935-1978, (Bulk 1944-1960)

http://dlib.nyu.edu/findingaids/html/tamwag/wag_127/wag_127.html

Jacob Pat was a journalist, writer and activist born in Bialystok, Russian Empire, in 1890. He served as the General Secretary of the Jewish Labor Bund's Central Association of Yiddish Schools in Warsaw, Poland in the years preceding World War II. A fund-raising trip in the fall of 1938 brought Jacob Pat to the United States where he was compelled to remain due to the war. He then devoted his efforts to anti-Nazi activity and rescue work and became the Executive Secretary of the Jewish Labor Comittee, a position he held until his retirement in 1963. He also served as a member of the Delegation of the Jewish Labor Bund to the U.S., and as a chairman of the Congress of Jewish Culture. These papers include correspondence, essays and writings, in particular, material pertaining to Pat's work with the Jewish Labor Committee.
