DescriptionJewish Democratic Teachers' Association (24833864589).jpg |
English: The cultural openness that was often attributed to the Latvian capital of Riga, made the city an appealing destination for many Jews. After 1842, when the Jewish community received formal recognition by the authorities, the Jewish population of Riga continued to swell - though this influx was slowed in the years around the First World War. Numerous Jewish political movements and mutual aid societies were active in Riga – something made possible by the city’s pluralistic atmosphere. A variety of educational institutions were available to the Jewish citizenry of Riga including secular schools, religious schools, schools associated with various political movements, and Yiddish schools. As was only fitting for a city alive with so much Jewish cultural and educational activity, Riga was also home to a variety of Jewish Teachers’ Associations and Unions such as the Central Association of Latvian Jewish Teachers (a secular organization), The Riga Jewish Teachers’ Union (a religious organization), and the Jewish Democratic Teachers’ Union (a political organization) – from whence this book stamp comes. Where Riga had once been reputed for its openness this all came to a tragic end, first when the city was occupied by the Soviets, and then when the city fell under Nazi occupation in the summer of 1941. Some archival materials relating to the Jewish Democratic Teachers’ Association is currently held in the Latvian State Historical Archives. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. |
