United Krakauer Charity & Aid Society - 1937

In 1892, the United Krakauer Charity & Aid Society was founded to assist Krakow 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, Pension Fund and Burial Fund.

On 8th 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.
