Workmen's Circle Camp

Description:

On the fifth anniversary of the founding of the Workmen's Circle Kinderring (Sylvan Lake) camp. Translated Summary: Appears to be a book for adults, perhaps for a fundraising banquet. Tells the history of the camp takeover and the I.W.O. split more generally from the Arbeter Ring (Workmen's Circle) point of view. Interesting reflection of the state of bilingualism in the Jewish left outside the Ordn. The book reads right to left in Yiddish, left to right in English. The Yiddish 'half' is slightly longer as not every article is translated. The camp committee is pictured on pages 74-75, in the Yiddish section of the book, but with committee members' names in English. The list of advertisers on (unnumbered) page 87 is in English as are the advertisements. The Yiddish cover has a typo with the German spelling, "Arbeiter" instead of "Arbeter".
