Title:
A history of the Deaf-Mute Association in Poland
Description:
A history of the Deaf-Mute Association in Poland by L. Eisner, its counsel. In 1932, the Jewish deaf-mute population in Poland was estimated at 4,000. The earliest attempt to organize deaf-mute individuals took place in 1916 in Warsaw, when the Deaf-Mute Society “Spojnia” (The Union) was founded. The establishment of other local deaf-mute societies followed, in Krakow and Lwow. In 1930, “Zwiazek Zydowskich Gluchoniemych” (Association of Jewish Deaf-Mute Persons in Poland) was founded, with its seat in Krakow. Local branches were established in Lodz, Vilna, and Bialystok. The organization now has 400 members and endeavors to meet the needs of its members by trying to secure material aid for the needy, promoting special education, organizing cultural events, and popularizing sports competitions. Appended is a chronicle of Association events for 1931-32.
