Records, 1943-1988.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/173692386

Records of an organization formed near the end of World War II by American Jews opposed to Zionism. The records document the group's efforts to promote acceptance of Judaism as a religion rather than a nationality, to expand U.S. immigration regulations, to aid non-Zionist refugee relief organizations, to urge compromise in Palestine by all faiths and ethnic groups, to expand its own membership, and to conduct other activities. Photographs consist primarily of images depicting Lessing J. Rosenwald, a president of the organization, 1947-1967. Photographs in an album document a Bavarian Relief Action, including images of school children, villages, and folklife events in Germany. The processed portion of this collection is summarized above, dates 1943-1967 (though primarily 1943-1953), and is described in the register. Additional accessions date 1939-1988 and are described below.
