| | Abstract: | In 1994, Beatrix Jessberger, a pastor from the Katholische Akademie (Catholic Academy) in Berlin, Germany, spoke at the Western Reserve Historical Society about the history of the Bavarian town of Unsleben, the original home of the small group of Jews who settled in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1839. The collection consists of a speech made at the Western Reserve Historical Society, newspaper clippings in English and German about the speech and the history of Unsleben, photocopied articles about Unsleben from German reference sources, and a photograph album of present day Unsleben, including its buildings, landscapes, and tombstones. | |
