New York Public Library http://www.nypl.org/research/chss/jws/jewish.html Contact Information Address: Dorot Jewish Division The New York Public Library Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street New York, NY 10018-2788 Telephone: (212) 930-0601 Fax: (212) 642-0141 E-Mail: freidus@nypl.org The Dorot Jewish Division is uniquely constituted as both a subject and a language division. While the collection offers commentary on all aspects of Jewish life, it also includes Hebrew and Yiddish-language texts on general subjects. About forty percent of the Division’s holdings are in Hebrew characters and the remainder are in other languages, primarily English, German, Russian, and French. The Division is especially strong in bibliographies and reference works, Jewish Americana, history and social studies, Kabbalistic and Hasidic works, texts by Christian Hebraists, rabbinic responsa, Hebrew and Yiddish literature, and periodicals and newspapers. The Dorot Jewish Division holds the records of the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars, which contains diverse material about the migration of European (often Jewish) scholars to America in the 1930s and 1940s. The papers of Saul K. Padover (Jewish?), an Austrian émigré who served as
Assistant Secretary of the Interior and did intelligence work in Europe during World War II, also contain pertinent material. A transcript of German-born publisher Kurt Enoch’s oral history “Encounter with the Holocaust” is available, as well as photocopies of the collected survivor testimonies of 170 Lithuanian Jews, compiled by survivor Leyb Koniuchowsky, as well as over 650 yizkor books (see http://www2.nypl.org/home/research/dorot/yizkorbooks_intro.cfm for inventory of collection alphabetized by town.) New York University http://www.nyu.edu/library/bobst/research/tam/ Contact Information Address: New York University Library 70 Washington Square South - 10th Floor New York, NY 10012 Telephone: (212) 998-2636 E-Mail: gm12@nyu.edu The Tamiment Library and Robert F. Wagner Labor Archives at New York University form a unique, internationally-known center for scholarly research on Labor and the Left. The primary focus is the complex relationship between trade unionism and progressive politics and how this evolved over time. The Robert Wagner Labor Archives hold the records and photographs of the Jewish Labor Committee, an umbrella group of Jewish trade unions and fraternal organizations founded in 1934 for the purpose of organizing opposition to Fascism and providing assistance to its victims, which aided refugees and provided post-war relief to Holocaust victims (see http://www.nyu.edu/library/bobst/collections/exhibits/tam/JLC/1intro.html.) Jacob Pat’s personal papers reflect his experiences as a refugee who devoted himself to anti-Nazi activity and rescue work in the US and held several posts in American Jewish organizations.
