In 1939, Mela Iancu, a Romanian Jewish leader, established the Jewish
Center for the Protection of Mothers and Children. With branches
throughout Romania, the center contributed to the salvation of hundreds
of women and children during the Holocaust period, providing Jewish
children with shelter, food, and medical care and aiding orphans who
returned from Transnistria. With financial assistance from JDC and other
international organizations, the center helped many children during this
period of danger and uncertainty for the Jewish people. Sylvia
Hershcovitz will present this narrative from a Jewish, Zionist, and
feminist perspective.
Sylvia Hershcovitz is a PhD candidate in the Department of Jewish
History at Bar Ilan University in Israel. She is a Spiegel Fellow in The
Arnold and Leona Finkler Institute for Holocaust Research and a
recipient of the Fred and Ellen Lewis/ JDC Archives Fellowship. Her
dissertation and her research in the JDC Archives focus on the quotidian
lives of Jewish women and their organizations in Romania in the early
20th century.
