1958 PRUZHANY YZKOR BOOK

Chapter 44

CANDIDATES FOR THE BOARD OF THE KEHILÁ

(JEWISH COMMUNITY)  IN PRUZHANY DURING YEAR 1929

 

We have obtained material relating to our social and political life between both World Wars from YIVO in New York. These documents were in at one time donated to YIVO in Vilna. By some miracle they survived and through different paths, and after the destruction of Hitler, they found their way to New York. Among the donations is an enormous collection of documents related to the various elections in the Jewish society in Pruzhany and surrounding villages, including elections to the community, and to the Urban Commission. It is referenced in diverse places in our Pinkas and the reproduction and translation of these documents came from the same source.

 

Among the documents we have are the complete lists of candidates for these elections in the year 1929 as was posted by the Community Commission of the Community of Pruzhany. Eight lists were given and in each one of them there are 16 people. Their name, their occupation and their address is stated and it reveals one of the important and outstanding mirrors of social and economic Jewish activity of our native city. We present these lists with different translations and annotations. The document speaks for itself.

 

ANNOUNCEMENT
