SUMMARY:Runaway Husbands\, Desperate Families:The Story of the National Des
 ertion Bureau - facilitated by Howard Schickler
DESCRIPTION:VIA ZOOM\n\nThe next hidden corner of our Random Walk Through J
 ewish History and Culture brings us to the Early 20th Century during the G
 reat Migration of Jewish Immigrants from the Pale of Settlement mostly to 
 the Lower East Side of Manhattan.\n\nOne largely unremembered part of that
  process was the desertion of their families by thousands of Jewish men. T
 he problem was large enough that the Jewish community created a separate a
 gency to find these men and both cause them to meet their responsibilities
  as well as help the abandoned families find the means to survive. This in
 stitution was called The National Desertion Bureau.\n\nThe presentation no
 t only tells the story of the Jewish institutional response\, but also giv
 es an unusually touching insight into how difficult life was for the immig
 rant families\, in the real life illustrations of the Bureau's work. The p
 anel discussion was a session introducing the exhibit on the Bureau at Yiv
 o in New York.\n\nThe NDB is the subject of “Runaway Husbands\, Desperat
 e Families: The Story of the National Desertion Bureau” an exhibition at
  the YIVO Institute of Jewish Research.\n\n“It reveals an aspect of Jewi
 sh immigration that is not usually discussed\,” said Eddy Portnoy\, Dire
 ctor of Exhibitions at YIVO\, which houses the over 18\,000 case files of 
 the NDB and who collaborated on the exhibition with The Jewish Board of Fa
 mily and Children’s Services\, a mental health and social services agenc
 y.\n\nHoward Schickler\, who will be facilitating the presentation may gat
 her additional information. If you would like to receive these\, please cl
 ick here. As always\, the presentation stands on its own\, so these additi
 onal readings\, if any\, are purely optional.\n\n&nbsp\;
