The Evening Courses Society in Sokołów on the occasion of the May 1 holiday organized a meeting for its members at 12 noon. Zelik Lon spoke about the importance of the workers' holiday and Berek Flejszer about the persecution of Jews in Germany by Hitler's government. Both speakers are from Sokołów. About 50 people present.

Poalej-Sjon-Right in Sokołów organized a meeting in the town hall. Speeches were delivered by Ejnoch Zając, Perec Granatsztejn and Icek Międzyrzecki - they all spoke about the importance of the workers' holiday for the working masses, about the persecution of Jews in Germany by the Nazis, about the situation in Palestine and its rebuilding, about the raging crisis in the world and about the difficult living conditions of the Jewish population which is spread all over the world in the number of about 16 million heads. About 250 people were present at the event.

Sokołów, 1932.

"On November 26, the Association of Cultures League in Sokołów organized a lecture entitled "Husband and wife in the light of today's culture" delivered by Dow-Ber Małkin from Warsaw.

The main idea of the lecture was the social situation of women in the past and today. Old Jewish religious literature knows only one type of a woman as a seductress; only modern literature puts women on an equal level with men.

About 150 people attended the lecture."

Dear friends, today in my archive I came across this document. Unfortunately, I don't remember who gave it to me. Does any of you know where it comes from? I will be grateful for your help!

A remarkable “paper monument,” the only one of its kind, is available on the internet. Almost all the historical collections held by the Arolsen Archives are now online. People from all over the world can use the online archive to access 26 million documents containing information on 21 million names* of victims of Nazi persecution. The Arolsen Archives have recently expanded the collections on the internet to include documents on forced laborers and on deportations to concentration camps. This means that the majority of the documents in the world’s most comprehensive archive on Nazi persecution are now accessible online.

*A name does not equate to a person: Some of the names of victims of Nazi persecution are found with different spellings on different documents and this led to them being counted more than once.
