Title: A Small Collection of Material, Related to the American Christian Palestine Committee
Description: New York, American Christian Palestine Committee, 1950. A pamphlet and a gathering of mimeographed sheets, 1940s - 1950s; pamphlet - 8 x 5 1/4; pp. [6]; illustrated with photographs; stapled mimeographed sheets - 14 x 8 1/2; pp. [8], text to recto only; minor wear and creasing and light age-toning - in very good condition. The American Palestine Committee was founded in 1932 as a political lobby group, with the aim of influencing American policy towards establishing a Jewish national homeland in Palestine. It would later merge with the Christian Council on Palestine to become the American Christian Palestine Committee in 1946. By that time, its members numbered over 15 000, many of them prominent American figures. In the 1950s, after the successful creation of Israel in 1948, the organization felt its work was done and it ceased to exist. The pamphlet presented its history and goals, while the mimeographed document contained a list of films from the organization's lending library, which depicted various phases of Israel's birth and growth. Very good .
