(IMMIGRATION).
STANLEY BERO. Chart and Explanatory Outline Regarding 81 Cities in 24 States: With Particular Reference to the Jewish Communal Development.
TIPPED IN: Two extensive folding tables, mimeographed on thin paper.
pp. 6. Original printed wrappers. 8vo.
New York, 1912.
Issued for the Hebrew Sheltering & Immigrant Aid Society, a report that guided new immigrants to America and the possibility to settle elsewhere across the vast country - beyond the teeming East Coast.
Another goal of the report was to introduce to cities and municipalities in America’s heartland, the fact that Jewish migrants were potentially good for their developing economy and society.
Stanley Bero later served as manager of the Central Committee for the Relief of Jews Suffering through the War (commonly known as the Central Relief Committee, the CRC). An Orthodox overseas relief organization affiliated with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, it was established in 1914 to assist Jews suffering as a result of the outbreak of World War I. After the war, the Central Relief Committee shifted its attention to providing economic relief to Orthodox Jewry overseas, helping maintain religious and cultural identity via support to hundreds of yeshivoth and social-welfare groups.
