AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK INDEX TO VOLUMES 1-50 1899-1949 (5660-5709) Prepared by Elfrida C. Solis-Cohen Editorial Consultant: Harry J. Alderman, Director Blaustein Library, American Jewish Committee KTAV PUBLISHING HOUSE, INC. NEW YORK Copyright 1967 American Jewish Committee Library of Congress Catalogue Card No. 99-4040 Manufactured in United States of America FOREWORD The publication of the index to the first fifty volumes of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK opens to the student of Jewish affairs invaluable source material for the history and development of the Jewish community in the United States, as well as a record of Jewish life throughout the world. The first volume of the YEAR BOOK was published by the Jewish Publication Society of America in 1899, when European Jews flee- ing poverty, restriction, and oppression were beginning to form their communal organizations on this continent. The YEAR BOOK'S first editor was Cyrus Adler. He and the publishers saw the YEAR BOOK as a cohesive force in the American Jewish community and as a source of authoritative information for the general community. In 1907 the Jewish Publication Society reluctantly decided to cease publication with its tenth volume, because the YEAR BOOK had be- come too complex and costly an undertaking. Dr. Adler was already a leader of the American Jewish Com- mittee, which had come into existence a year earlier. More than anyone else it was he who won the Committee's support, and since then the Committee, in partnership with the Jewish Publication Society, has continued the YEAR BOOK'S publication. When the American Jewish Committee took over the compila- tion and editing of the YEAR BOOK, it began to use its pages also to focus public attention on certain problems confronting Jews, which were presented in the form of special articles, and to give broader coverage to the foreign scene. The YEAR BOOK can boast of a distinguished group of early editors. Before AJC, Dr. Adler and the illustrious Henrietta Szold, either singly or jointly, edited the book. Then came Herbert Friedenwald, AJC's first secretary, who edited five volumes, and after him Harry G. Friedman, Herman Bernstein, Joseph Jacobs, Dr. Adler again, and Samson D. Oppenheimer. Altogether, the YEAR BOOK had had six editors before Harry Schneiderman, who had assisted in preparing volumes 11 to 20, from 1909 through 1918, took over the editorship in 1919. He continued in this ca- pacity until 1949, and volume 50, when he retired. Morris Fine was his co-editor during the final two years. Under Harry Schneiderman's guidance the YEAR BOOK under- went a remarkable development. He is still with us, and our ambi- tion, as we edit each successive volume, is that it shall take its place in the worthy lineage over which he presided for so long. We pray that he may be with us for many years—and volumes—to come. Morris Fine Milton Himmelf arb August, 1967 Editors PREFACE We present here an alphabetical, analytical index to the contents of the first fifty volumes of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK. It covers the period when American Jewry was becoming the leader, spokesman, and philanthropist for Jews the world over. Here the American Jewish Committee played a leading role. As the early YEAR BOOKS had no index, this volume provides a key to the understanding of events of Jewish interest and of Jewish personalities all over the world during the period covered. Every effort had been made to provide ready access to the facts and infor- mation contained in these fifty volumes. Verbosity has been shunned, and an unnecessary multiplicity of entries avoided by the generous use of cross-references. The scope of the index, while in general quite broad, has neces- sarily been subjected to limitations imposed by practicability and common sense, particularly in view of the changes in content and editorial treatment over the fifty volumes. Certain features, such as the reviews of the year, special articles, obituaries, biographical sketches (in the very early volumes), have been fully indexed. The Annual Reports of the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Publication Society of America have been more selectively indexed to bring out substantive rather than routine matters, special atten- tion being paid to addresses, statements, and documents included in the reports. With respect to the recurrent annual features, such as directories of organizations and periodicals, statistics, bibliographies, necrolo- gies, listings of appointments, honors, elections, special bequests and gifts, etc., no analytical indexing was attempted. Such features are included in the index only under their generic headings or gen- eral subjects. The first twenty volumes of the YEAR BOOK were not numbered. For reasons of consistency and ease of reference, numbers have been supplied for these volumes and are listed in a special table giving all the volume numbers with their corresponding years, both Hebrew and civil. Especial thanks are due to Professor Salo W. Baron of Columbia University for his helpful suggestions; to Harry J. Alderman; to Harry Schneiderman, editor of the AMERICAN JEWISH YEAR BOOK for many years; to Morris Fine and Milton Himmelfarb, the present editors, and to Mrs. Stella Ettlinger, of the YEAR BOOK staff, who prepared the stencils for the original index.

    JEWISH STATISTICS 277 JEWISH STATISTICS The statistics of Jews in the world rest largely upon estimates. In Russia, Austria-Hungary, Germany, and a few other countries, official figures are obtainable. In the main, however, the num- bers given are based upon estimates repeated and added to by one statistical authority after another. For the statistics given below various authorities have been consulted, among them the " Statesman's Year Book" for 1910, the English " Jewish Year Book " for 5670-71, " The Jewish Ency- clopedia," Jildische Statistik, and the Alliance Israelite Uni- verselle reports. THE UNITED STATES ESTIMATES As the census of the United States has, in accordance with the spirit of American institutions, taken no heed of the religious convictions of American citizens, whether native-born or natural- ized, all statements concerning the number of Jews living in this country are based upon estimates. The Jewish population was estimated— In 1818 by Mordecai M. Noah at 3,000 In 1824 by Solomon Etting at 6,000 In 1826 by Isaac C. Harby at 6,000 In 1840 by the American Almanac at 15,000 In 1848 by M. A. Berk at 50,000 In 1880 by Wm. B.

    Samuel N. Deinard and the Unification of Jews in Minneapolis / Michael G

    THE AMERICAN JEWISH community of the 1970s, although diversified in terms of family origin, rehgious practice, educational attainment, geographical lo­ cation, and financial position, is essentially a united, "self-conscious" — though hardly monolithic — ethnic group. However, this condition of corporate self-identi­ fication did not always exist. During the latter years of the nineteenth century and the early ones of the twentieth, a major and often crucial cleavage within American Jewry was one of national origins, essentially German Jew versus Eastern European Jew. By the late 1920s the difference was greatly diminished; by the late 1940s it hardly existed. Its disappearance as a powerful factor in the Jewish community was the re­ sult of sociological forces, accidental events, and the self-conscious efforts of certain community leaders to create a unified body. What was true among Jews nationally was also true among Jews in Minneapolis. The original purpose of this study was to examine the general history of Min­ neapolis Jewry up to 1922 and determine, if possible, the role of the Anglo-Jewish press in this integrating Samuel N. Deinard process. It soon became evident that it would be im­ possible to divorce the major example of Anglo-Jewish journalism in Minneapolis — the American Jewish World — from the personality of its founder and editor, Samuel N. Deinard. and the In addition to having been the prime mover of the World, Deinard was rabbi at Shaarai Tov^ (later named Temple Israel), a professor of Semitic languages and literature at the University of Minnesota, and an active participant in both local and national fraternal Unification and charitable organizations.

  • Albania: the Country That Actually Saved Jews During the Holocaust

    Albania: the Country That Actually Saved Jews During the Holocaust

    Albania: The Country That Actually Saved Jews During the Holocaust Stephen D. Kulla Gratz College Situated on the Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe, with its coastline facing the ​ ​ Adriatic Sea to the northwest and the Ionian Sea to the southwest along the Mediterranean Sea, ​ sits the country of Albania. Albanians are generally recognized as the oldest inhabitants of Southeast Europe, and are descendants of the Illyrians, the core pre-Hellenic population that 1 extended as far as Greece and Italy. Albania is a relatively small county of 11,000 square miles with a present population of just under three million people; yet within the mountains and hills that run in different directions across the length and breadth of the country lies a little-known 2 story of preeminent heroism. Despite being a predominantly Muslim nation and the only majority Muslim nation in Europe at the time, Albania​ is the only European country able to ​ 3 arguably claim that every Jew within its borders was spared from death during the Holocaust. 4 The assertion, while not completely accurate, is even more compelling because the result was unequivocally not due to an organized effort, nor by a governmental decree. It was, however, surely not accidental. Despite being occupied by Italy and then Germany during World War II and being ruled at different times by two very distinctive forms of government, Albania not only 5 protected its meager Jewish population, but offered refuge to Jews from wherever they came. The explanation for this occurrence is greatly summed up in one word: Besa, an honor code 6 unique to Albania, which simply and concisely means “to keep the promise.” On the eve of World War II, Albania remained an impoverished feudal kingdom, largely ​ inaccessible, lacking railways, telephone lines and electric power beyond the capital of Tirana.
