In 1943, Polish Jewish children, whose parents had been exterminated in the Holocaust, arrived in Eretz Israel by way of Teheran, Iran - hence they became known as “the Teheran Children.” These children, who came from religiously observant homes were sent by the Jewish Agency to secular kibbutzim that left most of them bereft of their religious beliefs. Issued by the Agudath Israel of the United States and Canada the introductory remarks to this ideological booklet begin: “This is a document of shame.” Includes letters issued by Rabbis Yoseph Isaac Schneersohn, Avraham Mordecai Alter, Issar Zalman Meltzer, Isaac Ze’ev Soloveitchik, Yechezkel Abramsky, Eliezer Silver, etc. For provenance, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mnachem_Risikoff.
