Re: [ha-Safran] Locations of Collections of US Jewish Military Records?

[Deena Schwimmer via Hasafran]

The American Jewish Historical Society’s various Jewish Welfare Board 
collections contain some records going back to Jews’ military service in WWI.
If they haven’t already, they should also contact NARA regarding records of 
veterans.

Subject: [ha-Safran] Locations of Collections of US Jewish Military Records?

Hello,

As a librarian of the Pritzker Military Museum & Library, in Chicago, I 
received an interesting inquiry from Park University's George S Robb Centre for 
the Study of the Great War. A few historians there are working on a project 
whereby the the medals awarded to  Jewish American soldiers and others during 
WWI are under review. Where merited, they would recommend upgrading  the award 
received such as the Croix de Guerre to thath of the highest award, the Medal 
of Honor. There is a sense that soldiers of Jewish American, African Americans 
and other groups did not necessarily receive full recognition due to existing 
prejudice.

Would any readers be aware of:collections of Jewish military records on WWI?
 I am also interested in  collections on Jewish records from different periods, 
too - so, please pass on information of that kind, too.

Any collections of this nature that have been digitized?

Who are the current researchers on Jewish-American military history?

Would you know of collections or of researchers, specifically, in the Chicago 
area?

If it would be helpful, I'd be happy to sum up the responses in an email to 
ha-Safran, based on the answers that I hope to receive..

Leah

[ha-Safran] “The Fittest Survivor” by Sigmund Abeles, is now in print.

[Chaim Mazo via Hasafran]

  
  
“The Fittest Survivor” by Sigmund Abeles, is now in print.  



This book is a first-hand account of a Hungarian family destroyed
  in the Holocaust and the survivors, as well as the story of two
  men from different generations who discover each other’s existence
  to remember and record their family’s history. “The Fittest
  Survivor” provides an insightful and under-reported aspect of
  World War II history, refracted through the personal perspective,
  and courageous life of one notable forced slave labor survivor,
  Vilmos Abeles. Through the sharp memory of Vilmos Abeles, the
  author, Sigmund Abeles, discovers his heretofore unknown
  patrilineal heritage. At two years old, the author’s mother left
  his abusive father, taking him, an only child, from Jewish
  Orthodox Brooklyn, New York to non-Jewish South Carolina, where
  she raised him with almost no contact with his father or his
  father’s family. As the years passed, and the desire to know more
  about his father’s side of the family grew stronger, Sigmund
  Abeles discovered his father’s cousin, Vilmos Abeles, already 90.
  Thus began the series of interviews over a five-year period that
  provided Sigmund Abeles with a treasury of family facts to paint
  the tapestry of the Abeles family. A Story of Survival and
  Remembering – from the Holocaust and post-World War II Era. 


The author, Sigmund Abeles, born 1934 in New York, is an artist
  whose work deals with the expressive and psychological aspects of
  the human figure as well as animals: an art focused on the life
  cycle.  
  Now Professor Emeritus at the University of New Hampshire, he also
  taught at Wellesley College and Boston University. After 27 years
  of teaching, Abeles works full-time in his New York City and
  upstate New York studios. He currently teaches a master class in
  figure drawing at the Art Students League of New York.
