JEWISH HISTORY OF
DELAWARE SOON

Plans for the publication OF a
Jewish History OF Delaware are
going along rapidly. The directors
OF the Jewish Community center
at a meeting on Tuesday night, were
told OF the progress already made in
this work, the report being made by
David Snellenburg.
Magistrate Barnet Gluckman, who
has devoted much study TO Jewish
history. is historian of the work
Harris Samonisky is the editor. The
editorial board consists of William
Topkis. David Snellenburg, DIR. AL
bert Robin and Samuel Cannon.
The work will include as COM
plete a record as possible of the
early Jewish settlers in the Colonial
period, through to the present time.
A special feature will be the section
devoted TO the Jewish colonists who
occupied Delaware in the middle
of the seventeenth century, when the
Swedes were in control.
An important and valuable feature
of the work will be the biographical
department which viii contain an
ACCURATE history of the representa-
tive Jewish families of Delaware
from the time OF the founders in
America TO the present time. w.
S. Dunbar. of this city, who for many
years was associated with DR.. John
w Jordan. OF the Historical Society
OF Pennsylvania, is in charge OF this
department.
This work is not TO be confused
with the history published recently
with Samuel Saretsky, executive sec
retary of the Jewish Community
Center, as editor. That work result
ed in the demand for a more COM
plete book. as a result OF which the
Jewish Community Center sometime
ago decided to get out the new pub
lication. The book will be ready
for distribution early next year.
