Bertha Pappenheim and My Great Great Grandmother
Double your impact to amplify Jewish women’s stories—
All gifts matched up to $35,000
Before you close this article, please consider supporting the Jewish Women’s Archive and uplifting Jewish women’s voices.
At JWA, we preserve the voices of Jewish women and gender-expansive people past and present, share them freely with millions online, and empower a new generation of Jewish feminists to lead with courage, creativity, and conviction.
But none of this happens without you. JWA is an independent nonprofit— we rely on people, like you, who believe that history belongs to all of us and that the voices of Jewish women must remain powerful, and heard.
This month, a generous JWA board member will match every gift dollar for dollar—up to $35,000—through June 30. Your contribution goes twice as far right now.
Every contribution—no matter the size—helps us document, teach, and inspire through Jewish women’s stories.
It takes less than a minute to make a difference.
Thank you for being a part of the JWA community,
Judith Rosenbaum, CEO
I tried to add a comment. I would love to collaborate to locate possible family that survived the Holocaust
My great grandmother was friends with some of those children in Neu Isenburg before the orphanage was liquidated. And my great grandmother would clean/mend clothes for the children and bake for them as the orphanage did not have an oven. My grandmother tasked me with finding out more of my Jewish relatives in and around that area. My grandmother described it as "families were torn apart" and it appeared PTSD kept her from saying more. I've had a very difficult time finding people/relatives.
