1963 Membership Directory Slutzker Branch 500

contributed by Gloria Bailey

This is from the Souvenir Journal from the 50th Anniversary – Golden Jubilee of the Slutzker Branch 500 of the Workmen’s circle.  This journal was among my grandfather’s belongings that my mother found after his death.  My grandfather, Joseph Osherowitz was on the journal committee and was a 50-year founding member of this group.  The information in this journal was printed in Yiddish and in English.  Advertisements were also sold to finance the publication of this Anniversary Journal.  This journal has a gold colored cover with yellow string ties.  It was given at a function that took place on Sunday, December 15, 1963.

The information in this database is a complete listing of that contained in the journal.  I don’t know anything else about the people listed, except those in my own family.  In addition to the membership list and the memoriam list, there was also an introduction letter from each of the officers and a cover page.  I have not had time to copy transcribe these also.   In addition to a memorial section to member’s family members, there was also a tribute to President John Kennedy and to the victims of the Holocaust.
