Caryn Leifer there are quite a few small Jewish cemeteries in Hamilton. There is a large complex of different cemeteries. It is very interesting to see. Then in Greenwood Cemetery in Hamilton there are a few different Jewish sections.

Dear Jewish Historical Society of Trenton,
My name is Karl Krotke-Crandall. I am a historian with Northern Arizona University. I'm reaching out to you regarding a current research and preservation project I am working on with students here in Flagstaff, AZ. If you will indulge me for a moment, I’ll explain the project and what I hope may be a connection to your group.

Last year, we discovered a collection of Holocaust survivor audio recordings in our archives at NAU. The collection was left on the shelves for more than 40 years with only a note attached reading “Delaware Valley Holocaust Committee.” I’ve taken the steps to preserve these recordings via digitization and now my students and I are researching how this collection came to NAU. Our finding thus far show that the collection is a combination of survivors from Arizona and survivors from your area, collected by a woman named Joan Keats. We’ve been able to locate former students and the family of Joan who recall her working in and around your area with a Cantor by the name of David Wisnia. From our conversations with Joan’s family and former peers, we believe that there may be another portion of the collection somewhere in your area. Thus my email. I’m trying to locate any one who may have known Joan or David, their work, and whether the collection may still exist. If so, and it is in need of preservation, we’d like to ensure that happens.

To be clear, I’m not soliciting any one for money for our project. We want to ensure that any survivor who recorded their testimony with Joan in the 1980s is preserved for future generations. In the long run, the collection we currently have will be preserved with the US Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC. I appreciate you willingness to read my lengthy email to you. If you, or any one in your organization might have any information that could help us in our work, please feel free to share my contact information. Respectfully,

PROGRESS CLUB (Forerunner of Greenacres)

  PROGRESS CLUB (Forerunner of Greenacres) One of the leading social clubs of the present day, with a membership exclusively Jewish, is the Progress Club, which since 1922 has been occupying a handsome club house at 178 West State Street. This organization began in November 1894 as the Young Men's Hebrew Club, with a membership of twenty-seven. Its first meetings were held in a room in a building on South Broad Street, below Factory, but later the club moved to East State Street, between Broad and Warren Streets. Arthur Schwartz was the first president of the old club, which was interested in improving the mental, moral, social, and physical conditions of its members and of protecting Hebrew interests.   About 1905, the club changed into a purely social one and adopted the name of the Progress Club. New quarters were acquired in the Alhambra Building, and sometime after the Thropp property on East State Street became the club's headquarters. In 1922 the members bough...
