World Jewish Affairs—Anti-Nazi Boycott, 1934
Scope and Contents
This series contains correspondence, essays, speeches, and business cards documenting Stone's activities in the legal profession and his involvement with various Jewish organizations. Included are legal briefs for several cases (the majority of which concern Prohibition or narcotics) from Stone's tenure as Assistant District Attorney; material on anti-Semitism, including information on the treatment of Jews in Poland in 1918; and material on the Gan Chaim Corporation, which was created with the intention of purchasing land in Palestine, converting the land into orange groves and selling them to settlers. Also included are several resolutions in support of the right of Jews to a national homeland, including one adopted by the city of Worcester, and a 1934 letter from the Non-Sectarian Anti-Nazi League to Champion Human Rights, encouraging a boycott of German goods and services.
