| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 13 | Title: | Katz Family Papers and Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Katz Family | | | | Dates: | 1900-1992 | | | | Abstract: | The Katz family began emigrating to the Cleveland area in the 1880s from their home of Podzelva, Lithuania (then part of the Russian Empire). The Katzes were very active in the Cleveland Jewish community. Aaron Katz and his son Solomon David prepared a "booklet of remembrance" (a history of their family) in 1905. This "booklet", a large ledger with writing in Biblical Hebrew by Cleveland area scribe Yaacov Landy, was updated with the names of family members through 1913. A composite photograph of individual portraits of over one hundred family members (not part of the ledger) was included in "An American Story", the core exhibit of the Maltz Museum of Jewish Heritage, opened in 2005. The collection includes a photocopy of this photograph and a guide to the names of those pictured. The collection consists of the certificate of naturalization of Sam Katz, the Family History, an unusually extensive genealogy, photographs, and a supplement to and translation of the family history. | | | | Call #: | MS 5364 | | | | Extent: | 0.40 linear feet (1 container) | | | | Subjects: | Jews -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | United States -- Emigration and immigration. | Immigrants -- Ohio -- Cleveland

Materials are written in English and Spanish. The collection consists of correspondence, a family history, a genealogy, identification papers, newspaper clippings, and an employment book, all of which are photocopies of the originals.
