I am a Jewish Child

Description:

Bilingual Pamphlet. Translated Summary: Argues for attendance in a Jewish school (after-School) as a way of instilling and securing a positive and "progressive" Jewish identity as well as "better prepared for his life as an American Jew." Describes JPFO curriculum which includes Jewish History; Jews the World Over; Yiddish Language (and for the older children, Hebrew); Yiddish Literature; Singing; Dancing and Art; and Social Consciousness. Describes teaching about Asser Levy with an illustration of patriots during the American Revolution. A map of Jews the world over includes workers and farmers in the Soviet Union, Palestine (Eretz Israel), with different imagery for Poland, and France. A page is devoted to Camp Kinderland. Itche Goldberg most probably "delegated, dictated, and rewrote" this brochure with its post-War themes; a curricula influence from Morris Schappes is also evident.
