  ... Jewish women, a Jewish womens organization for the protection of these children was organized. In 1920 it changed its name from The Organization of Jewish Women for the Supervision of Orphans to The Socieiy for the Protection of Jewish Orphans. This worthy cause was sup-ported by Brzezany emigrants to the U.S.A. and particularly by the family of Isaac and Rosalie Feld from Philadelphia. Thanks to this aid an Orphans-home was built on Strazhacka street. The majority of the 32 orphans, of both sexes, were taken in and brought up in this home. They received a thorough basic education and in addition an occupational training, so that they could later take care of themselves. This Orphans-home ceased to function when Second World War broke out. The destiny of these orphans was part and parcel ...

  ... was turned into a shelter for refugies. Afterwards it was turned by the Soviets into a grain store-house. The Nazi oppressors, which came after-wards, did not change the functions of the structure. It continued to serve as a storage place even after the entry of the Red-Army in 1944. The building is standing to this day. 2) The newly built Synagogue, stood close to the left side of the big synagogue. Jews who worshipped in this synagogue were mostly from wealthy and middle class families.

  ... set for the local drivers and porters. All the houses in the center of the town, contained stores or barrooms, owned mostly by Jews. Further north, there was another market, the "Novl-Rynek". This market was much smaller and more neglected, than the market in the center of the town. Zbozova street connected both. On the east side of the street stood the wo floor Jewish communiy center, which was built after the First World-War. North-east and south of the commercial centre extended a number of streets and alleys. On both sides of these streets stood small delapitaited houses. This was the residential section of the poorer Jewish population of the town. On the south side of this quarter stood the big synagogue, a beautiful well decorated structure, which was constructed in the 16th century ...

  - 155 - so dass sie bald von der Wiener jüdischen Studentenschaft mit einem besonderen Namen bezeichnet wurden: "Die Sektion Bielitz". Am 23. Oktober war diese "Sektion Bielitz" im Cafe Jägerhof, Wien IX, versammelt. Die Diskussion über die beste Methode den zionistischen Gedanken in Bielitz Eingang zu verschaffen und die Bielitzer jüdische Studentenschaft im jüdisch-nationalen studen-tischen Sinne zu organisieren führt zu dem glücklichen Entschlüsse eine Ferialverbindung zu gründen.

Stern im Sinne des deutschen Liberalismus geleitet wurde und sie zitierten mit besonderer Befriedigung Dr. Güdemanns "Nationaljudentum" - eine Replik auf Herzls "Judenstaat". Der "Haschachar" begann den Kehillagewaltigen tatsächlich bald unbequem zu werden.
