- 1 page, single-sided. Folded once horizontally. Letter from Lou Zablow and Paul Goldstein on behalf of the Association of Former Concentration Camp Inmates, Survivors of Nazi Oppression. Letter addressed to Chairman of the Board of Broadcast Governors, presented to the Board of Broadcast Governors by a delegation from the organization. Letter denounces a CBC interview with George Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, on the television program 'This Hour has Seven Days'. Narrative: The Association of Survivors of Nazi Oppression, formerly the Association of Former Concentration Camp Inmates, Survivors of Nazi Oppression, was founded circa 1960 in Montreal. Many of its members were founding members of the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre. Lou Zablow (1924-2005) was a Holocaust survivor from Lodz, Poland. He survived the Lodz ghetto, was deported to Auschwitz where he stayed four days before being sent to slave labour in Lieberose, Sachenhausen, and Mauthausen concentration camps. In April 1945, he was forced on a death march to Gunskirchen concentration camp where he was liberated by the US army. He immigrated to Montreal in 1949 and became the president of the Association of Survivors of Nazi Oppression (circa 1963-1971) and took part in the creation of the MHMC in 1979.
