| Zusammenfassung: | American Jewish leaders, many of German extraction, created the Industrial Removal Office (IRO) in 1901 in order to disperse unemployed Jewish immigrants from New York City to smaller Jewish communities throughout the United States. The IRO was designed to help refugees from persecution in the Pale of Russia find jobs and community support and, secondarily, to reduce the Manhattan ghettoes and minimize antisemitism. In twenty-one years, the IRO distributed seventy-nine thousand East European Jews to over fifteen hundred cities and towns, including Chino, California; Des Moines, Iowa; and Pensacola, Florida. Wherever they went, these twice-displaced immigrants wrote letters to the IRO's main office. Robert A. Rockaway has selected, and translated from Yiddish, letters that describe the immigrants' new surroundings, work conditions, and living situations, as well as letters that give voice to typical tensions between the immigrants and their benefactors. Rockaway introduces the letters with an essay on conditions in the Pale and on early American Jewish attempts to assist emigrants |

Rockaway Ithaca, NY Cornell University Press [2018] © 1998 1 online resource (256 pages) 2 maps, 5 halftones txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Documents in American Social History Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed 26. Nov 2019) American Jewish leaders, many of German extraction, created the Industrial Removal Office (IRO) in 1901 in order to disperse unemployed Jewish immigrants from New York City to smaller Jewish communities throughout the United States. The IRO was designed to help refugees from persecution in the Pale of Russia find jobs and community support and, secondarily, to reduce the Manhattan ghettoes and minimize antisemitism. In twenty-one years, the IRO distributed seventy-nine thousand East European Jews to over fifteen hundred cities and towns, including Chino, California; Des Moines, Iowa; and Pensacola, Florida. Wherever they went, these twice-displaced immigrants wrote letters to the IRO's main office. Robert A. Rockaway has selected, and translated from Yiddish, letters that describe the immigrants' new surroundings, work conditions, and living situations, as well as letters that give voice to typical tensions between the immigrants and their benefactors. Rockaway introduces the letters with an essay on conditions in the Pale and on early American Jewish attempts to assist emigrants In English Geschichte 1905-1914 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1901-1913 gnd rswk-swf Cultural Studies Jewish Studies LITERARY COLLECTIONS / Letters bisacsh Immigrants United States Correspondence Jews, East European United States Correspondence Arbeitsvermittlung (DE-588)4131655-1 gnd rswk-swf Einwanderer (DE-588)4151434-8 gnd rswk-swf Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 gnd rswk-swf Quelle (DE-588)4135952-5 gnd rswk-swf Einwanderung (DE-588)4013960-8 gnd rswk-swf Osteuropa (DE-588)4075739-0 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf 1\p (DE-588)4146609-3 Briefsammlung gnd-content USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Einwanderung (DE-588)4013960-8 s Juden (DE-588)4028808-0 s Arbeitsvermittlung (DE-588)4131655-1 s Geschichte 1901-1913 z Quelle (DE-588)4135952-5 s 2\p DE-604 Einwanderer (DE-588)4151434-8 s Osteuropa (DE-588)4075739-0 g Geschichte 1905-1914 z 3\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.7591/9781501724633 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
