The Jews of Kraków and its Surrounding Towns

United Krakauer Charity & Aid Society - 1937


In 1892, the United Krakauer Charity & Aid Society was founded to assist Kraków Jews arriving in the United States. Later, the Society provided aid to all Jews, irrespective of their origin. The Society had several relief funds, including a Passover Fund, a Pension Fund, and a Burial Fund.

On 8 May 1937, the 45th Anniversary Dinner was held in Essex House, New York. The following names are extracted from a booklet printed to commemorate that occasion.
