DONATE 
-
The correspondence consists of letters between Shalom Schwarzbard and individuals and organizations. The series contains letters of encouragements, support, and gratitude to Shalom Schwarzbard for his act. Invitations and notices announcing Shalom Schwarzbard's speeches, as well as letters of various political and cultural organizations that were involved in fostering Jewish self-defense, are included in this series. Other significant portions of letters come from Jewish newspapers and magazines, mostly in France or in New York. This correspondence deals with translation and copyrights for Shalom Schwarzbard's memoirs, requests for articles and offers of collaboration.
The series also contains letters of once leading personalities of the radical socialist or anarchist movement, such as Boris Yelensky , who was Secretary Treasurer of the Shalom Schwarzbard Arrangement Committee in Chicago that was preparing Shalom Schwarzbard's tour in the United States and Canada in 1934, Moshe Rogers, a secretary of that committee, Marc Jarblum , and Rudolf Rocker . There are many letters of Shalom Schwarzbard's friend Jacob Blumstein-Sela in years 1929-1930. The letters are both in French and Hebrew. The correspondence with family members is also part of this series in the folder Family and family friends and is also both in French and Yiddish. Many of these letters were written during the period when Shalom Schwarzbard awaited his trail at the prison La Santé .
There are relatively few materials directly related to Shalom Schwarzbard's trial or his act. Among the exceptions are letters written by Elie Dobkovsky who participated in the trial with Shalom Schwarzbard and in his long letter tried to explain why he witnessed against him, and Shalom Schwarzbard's letters to J.M. Zalkind written from the prison.
Several letters that are in the folder labelled Unidentified correspondence were eventually identified; however, they remained in their original location.

Search in the "Shalom Schwarzbard" Archival Collection (RG85)
The Edward Blank YIVO Vilna Online Collections project is an international project to preserve, digitize, and virtually reunite YIVO’s prewar library and archival collections located in New York City and Vilnius, Lithuania, through a dedicated web portal. The project will also digitally reconstruct the historic, private Strashun Library of Vilna, one of the great prewar libraries of Europe.
This project is a partnership between the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, the Lithuanian Central State Archives, the Martynas Mažvydas National Library of Lithuania, and the Wroblewski Library of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, and includes the cataloging, conservation, and digitization of documents and books in both New York and Vilnius.
In May 2017, some 170,000 pages of previously unknown documents, lost to history for almost 70 years, were discovered in Vilnius, significantly expanding the scope of our project.
