{"value"=>"<p>The Anti-Semitism subseries groups clipping files on anti-Semitic outbreaks in Boston and New York in 1942 and 1943, and correspondence, speeches and publicity material from various campaigns to combat anti-Semitism, including efforts to have patrolman James L. Drew, accused Nazi sympathizer, dismissed from the New York Police Department. In January 1944, the Federation convened a citywide conference of community and union leaders, and representatives of racial and religious groups, to work out a program to stop anti-Semitic violence, vandalism and defamation. Marshall saw the increase in anti-Semitic outbreaks, after similar attacks against Mexican-Americans and blacks, as part of a nationwide pattern of violence against racial minorities to sow disunity and disrupt the war effort. Also included are a 170-page report by police investigation commissioner William Herlands to Mayor LaGuardia on \"Anti-American and Anti-Semitic Vandalism\" (1944), and a correspondence file between Marshall and members of the Mayor's Committee on Unity (1945).</p>"}
