Reel 75 Zionism-Palestine 1915-1916
Copies of letters sent out by the
Provisional Executive Committee over Brandeis's signature to
leading individuals and organizations on the purposes of Zionism
and the need for a unifying Jewish congress begins reel 75.
Correspondence with delegates to the proposed congress concerns
problems and a likely agenda, and correspondence with Charles A.
Cowen, Chairman of the Zionist Emergency Fund, on the status of
relief and emergency work done by the fund, is also filmed here.
The work of the Zionist Bureau of New England is discussed by
Brandeis and Jacob deHaas, secretary of the bureau's executive
committee; and the reel ends with early Hadassah material such as
financial statements, reports, and letters from Henrietta Szold,
its president. (Boxes Z/P 11-1c/2, 12-1/2c)
