| | Photograph Collection | Save | | 521 | Title: | Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism Photographs, Series II
| | | | Creator: | Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism | | | | Dates: | 1975-1980 | | | | Abstract: | The Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism (CCSA) was a volunteer organization whose goals were to assist Soviet Jews to emigrate, to inform the American public about Jewish activities in the Soviet Union, and to monitor anti-Semitism in the USSR. The CCSA, the first organization of its kind in the world, was established in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1963 through the efforts of NASA scientists Louis Rosenblum and Abe Silverstein, Veterans Administration Hospital psychologist Herbert Caron, and Rabbi Daniel Litt. The four men, members of Beth Israel The West Temple, were supported by the congregation which provided volunteer workers and office space for the CCSA. The CCSA sought to educate the public regarding the plight of Soviet Jews at a time when the problem was not generally recognized. The Council organized letter writing campaigns to government officials, sponsored rallies and protests, corresponded with Soviet Jews, and lobbied Congress and the President in an effort to link economic aid to the Soviet Union to the issue of human rights. Between 1964 and 1969 the CCSA produced a handbook for community activity, created a motion picture and slide show depicting the problem of Soviet Jewry, and published Spotlight, the nation's first newsletter on Soviet Jews. By 1965, the CCSA counted 600 members. Its success was recognized nationally and it became a model for other local groups. By 1969, five other councils had been established and in February 1970 the six organizations joined to create the Union of Councils for Soviet Jews (UCSJ) to share information and to strengthen the movement nationally. In 1966, the Jewish Community Federation of Cleveland became the first Federation in the U.S. to allocate funds for this issue by providing funds for the CCSA's educational activities. The collection consists of approximately 150 black and white and color photographs depicting CCSA members, Soviet Jews, CCSA events, and views of the Soviet Union. | | | | Call #: | PG 577 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Cleveland Council on Soviet Anti-Semitism -- Photograph collections | Jewish refugees -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs | Jews, Soviet -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs | Jews, Soviet -- Emigration and immigration -- Photographs | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs | Jews -- United States -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs | Jews -- Soviet Union -- Social conditions -- Photographs | Refuseniks -- Photographs | Antisemitism -- Soviet Union -- Photographs | Soviet Union -- Emigration and immigration -- Photographs

| | | | Creator: | Jane Addams Alumnae Association | | | | Dates: | 1941-1967 | | | | Abstract: | The Jane Addams Alumnae Association (ca. 1990's - unknown) was an organization formed in the 1990s by Joan Motl and other alumni of the Cleveland, Ohio, school in order to support the school and preserve its historical records. A major catalyst to forming the association was the demolition of the original school in 1991 and subsequent efforts to raise funds to place a memorial plaque at the original site. The memorial dedication and installation of a time capsule occurred on Sunday May 19, 1996 at 5310 Carnegie Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. The records in the collection detail activities, events, curriculum, and programs of Jane Addams High School, a vocational school for women. One of the school's activities in the 1940s was an alumni tea for seniors graduating from the school. Another alumni activity in 1951 was to plan a reunion along with the faculty committee. The reunion was held December 5, 1951. The School was originally located in the former Sibley School building. In 1924 it became the Sibley School for Girls for a short period then was named in honor of Jane Addams, pioneer in the social work field and founder of Hull House in Chicago. It moved to a newly constructed building on East 30th Street and Community College Avenue in 1968. The school had various names including the Girls Opportunity School, Jane Addams School, Jane Addams High School, Jane Addams Vocational School, and presently the Jane Addams Careers Center. The name Jane Addams was chosen as a good example to show the girls attending the vocational school that with determination and life skills much can be accomplished. By the 1920s vocational education was on the rise. By 1924 the Girls Opportunity School opened for girls struggling with traditional academic work. The program included cooking, hygiene, home nursing, English, and math. Later the courses were expanded to include industrial trades such as sewing, pattern making, dressmaking, commercial cooking, and cosmetology. Men were admitted in the 1980s and vocational classes leading to state certification in Dental Assisting, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Computer Repair, Finance and Credit, and Tailoring were added. The school had previously offered post-graduate courses in dental assistant training in 1946; practical nurse training in 1949; and food supervisory training in 1952. There were also classes given at night in cake decoration, candy making, party foods, dressmaking, tailoring, power sewing, pattern making and millinery. The collection consists of 10 negatives and 207 photographs (201 black and white, 6 color) depicting programs, activities, events, faculty, and students of the school. | | | | Call #: | PG 579 | | | | Extent: | 0.20 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Jane Addams High School (Cleveland, Ohio) -- Alumni and alumnae. -- Photographs | Jane Addams Alumnae Association -- Photograph collections | Women -- Vocational education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs | Women -- Education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs | Vocational school graduates -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs | Vocational school graduates -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs | High schools -- Alumni and alumnae -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs | Education, Secondary -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs | Vocational education -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs | School buildings -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs
