| Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 3 | 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: | Jewish Community Center of Cleveland | | | | Dates: | 1929-1992 | | | | Abstract: | The Jewish Community Center of Cleveland was formed in 1948 by the merger of the Council Educational Alliance (established 1899), Camp Wise (established 1907), the Jewish Young Adult Bureau (established 1939), and the Cultural Department of the Jewish Community Council (established 1945), for the purpose of providing recreational social and cultural programs to the Jewish community of Cleveland, Ohio. By 1959 the center moved from Cleveland to the suburb of Cleveland Heights. The collection consists of individual portraits, including Myron Guren, the first president of the Jewish Community Center (JCC), and Herman Eigen, its executive director. Group portraits include a Council Educational Alliance women's group. Photographic views reflect JCC's activities in several areas, including the resettlement of Jews from the former Soviet Union in the 1970s; the Jewish Youth Council, a politically active high school group; and the cultural arts programs of the JCC, including folk dancing, dances, exhibits, holidays, annual meetings, programs, and theater productions. Images of preschoolers include holiday preparations. The photographs of the annual Israel Independence Day parades provide views of Taylor Road in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Also included are views of Camp Wise in the 1930s and 1930s. | | | | Call #: | PG 502 | | | | Extent: | 0.60 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Jewish Community Center of Cleveland -- Photograph collections. | Camp Wise (Euclid, Ohio) -- Photograph collections. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. -- Photographs. | Community centers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Recreation centers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish community centers -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Recreation -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Social life and customs -- Photographs. | Jews, Soviet -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs. | Jewish youth -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Photographs.
