Oifgang – Newspaper of the Jewish community in Cuba – April, 1934
Oifgang, Gezelshaftlich-Literarishe Un Informative Monatshrift Fun Der Idisher Kolonia in Cuba. Havana, April 1934. Issue No. 5.
Social-literary and informative monthly for the Jewish ‘colony’ in Cuba. Approximately 6,000 Jews arrived in Cuba from Russia, Poland, and Germany between 1933-1943. Most were on their way to the United States, but because the immigration quota had been filled, they camped in Cuba using it as a temporary stop. Eventually an active community emerged which included schools, synagogues, etc. Yiddish. With many photographs and advertisements.
