A letter from the chairman of the National Committee to Combat Anti-Semitism to subscribers of the periodical COUNTER ATTACK urging them to sign the attached petition for Congress to adopt Representative Samuel Dickstein’s House Concurrent Resolution 89: “Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring) , That the Congress hereby express itself that anti-Semitism and other forms of hate propaganda directed against racial or religious groups, which arrays creed against creed, and race against race, is a potent weapon in the hands of the enemies of this country and of its institutions; that the spreading of this Hitlerite ideology destroys the unity of this Nation, creates discord among our people, and is a threat to our future peace and security. Whosoever conducts or participates in such propaganda is un-American and is undermining the foundations upon which our Nation was founded, therefore, there can be no place in the lives or thoughts of true Americans for such ideology. ” Also includes a space for donations to help finance the endeavor. Excellent displayable example of the attempt to extend democratic and anti-fascist ideals beyond the war into post-war America. Dickstein had been an ardent supporter of Jewish rights and Jewish refugees during the war. SUBJECT(S) : Petitions, Anti-Semitism, American history. OCLC lists no holdings worldwide.
