The Jewish Women’s Archive is dedicated to uncovering, chronicling, and transmitting to a broad public the rich history of American Jewish women. One of the first Jewish organizations to recognize and invest in the potential of the Internet for academic, cultural, archival, and educational purposes, JWA continues to use technology to collect and share Jewish women's stories. Its innovative website, jwa.org, provides free access to a wide range of resources on American Jewish women, past and present, celebrated and unknown.

    Holy geez, my grandmother Hilda Gross Levinson (of blessed memory) is in here! I did a Google search and found this! How amazing. Thanks for sharing! I'm sort of our family historian and I've never seen this photo, only heard her stories.
