1Title:  Henry B. Ollendorff Papers     
 Creator:  Ollendorff, Henry B. 
 Dates:  1942-1984 
 Abstract:  Henry B. Ollendorff (1906-1979) was a German-born and -trained lawyer who took up social work after coming to the United States to escape Nazi Germany. Head social worker at the Friendly Inn Social Settlement in 1943 and executive director of the Neighborhood Settlement Association from 1948-1963, Ollendorff founded the Cleveland International Program, which grew into the Council of International Programs, formally established in 1956 as a social worker exchange program designed to promote international understanding. In the next 22 years, the program brought to the U.S. representatives from 105 countries. In 1978, trustees of the Council established a foundation in Ollendorff's name to continue his efforts toward world peace and friendship. The collection consists of biographical materials, speeches, drafts of speeches, correspondence, clippings, and a 1982 annual report of the Council of International Programs. The collection is useful for understanding Ollendorff's work with the council and his political views on a variety of contemporary issues.
