[Cz-L] Emperor Franz Joseph Jubilee Orphanage for Israelites in Czernowitz

Czernowitzers...

Faith in progress and charity were "en vogue" in Europe, Austria and Czernowitz in the year 1913, just a few months before the outbreak of WW1; nearly nobody anticipated the horror and the millions of victims to come.

A couple of days ago we celebrated the inauguration of the Jewish Toynbee Hall in Czernowitz and today I'm publishing the "Annual Report of the Emperor Franz Joseph Jubilee Orphanage in Czernowitz for the Year 1912", released in 1913 at:
