An exhibition depicting Jewish immigration to the United States in the last 100 years was opened here today by the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research as part of the organization’s conference, currently in session. The conference marks YIVO’s 40th anniversary.
At today’s session, also, YIVO gave its annual essay contest award to Abraham H. Fuchsman, of Brooklyn, for a monograph on “The Jewish Concept of International Rights.” The $500 award was established 17 years ago by the families of the late Ethel and Sol Brodsky and Ida Seltzer.
