Landsmanshaftn
From dances and banquets to health insurance and free loan societies, landmanshaftn helped immigrants in New York and many U.S. cities. Landsmanshaftn are Jewish community organizations of immigrants from the same city in Eastern or Central Europe.
The Library has about 200 publications of landsmanshaftn, including souvenir journals (which often include photos of members and background information), as well as constitutions and by-laws. These publications provide important information for genealogical research and for understanding immigrant life.
Those researching landsmanshaftn may also wish to explore the Library's collection of yizkor books (Holocaust memorial books). Most yizkor books focus primarily on interwar life in the old country, and are also an important source for connecting survivors and landslayt around the world.
