Despite Cleveland’s status as a fairly standard mid-size midwestern city, the Jewish community in Cleveland remains much larger than nearby cities such as Pittsburgh, Buffalo, or Columbus. Despite Cleveland’s large Jewish community, the role Cleveland played during and after the Holocaust remains largely unexplored compared to the extensive historiography written on Cleveland’s Jewish community in the nineteenth century. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s, prominent Cleveland Jews actively participated in anti-Nazi activism, boycotted German goods, and accepted thousands of Jewish refugees. Cleveland’s numerous Jewish organizations worked to rehabilitate young Holocaust survivors, created support groups, and even hosted dances to help survivors integrate into the larger Jewish community. The individual accounts of Holocaust survivors who relocated in Cleveland demonstrate why so many survivors found a new home in the midwestern city, how important Cleveland’s strong Jewish community became to its new residents, and the ways Cleveland continues to remember and memorialize their experiences.
