Emigration
Jews from Novoselitsa moved to many lands where there
decedents live today. Some of the documents they left in
their new homes can still be found.
Worker's Formerly Workmen's Circle Branch 498
Novoselitzer Progressive a Yiddish Branch that is no
longer active
The following Documents were provided to The YIVO
Institute for Jewish Studies by the Worker's Circle and
are contained in RG 1400 Bund Archives, Box 189 . Due to a
flood a few years ago no other documents remain unless
descendants of members have them.
(at the present time these documents are in Yiddish I hope
to have them translated and will post the translated
versions when available)
25th Anniversary Journal
47th anniversary Journal
50th Jubilee Program
Meeting Notice
In addition to Branch 498 of the Worker's (formerly
Workmen's) Circle AKA Arbeter Ring there were two other
Novoselitzer landsmenshaftn (hometown society of Jewish
people) probably in New York The First Novoselitzer and
the Independent Novoselitzer . At one point it was
believed that records from these two organizations were
being archived at the YIVO Institute in New York, that
does not seem to be the case.
However the YIVO does have financial records and materials
pertaining to relief work including card files and account
sheets of relief recipients with their their
addresses from 1945 -1949 from the United
Novoselitzer Reliefe Society in collection RG 999. When
Covid restrictions are removed these files will be
available for researchers
The YIVO institute for Jewish Research is located at 15 W
16th St. New York NY 10011 , (212) 246-6080,

There is also a book about Novoselitsa written by two
immigrants to Venezuela , Jaime Segal and Abraham
Sterental the book was written in Spanish but an English
translation is available. I was able to download and read
a PDF but cannot determine the copyright so I am reluctant
to post it here you can find it on the web by typing the
