Tens of thousands of Jewish children were orphaned during World War
I and in the subsequent years of conflict. In response, Jewish
leaders in Poland established CENTOS, the Central Union of
Associations for Jewish Orphan Care. Through CENTOS, social workers
and other professionals cooperated to offer Jewish children the
preparation necessary to survive during a turbulent period. They
established new organizations that functioned beyond the authority
of the recognized Jewish community and with the support of Polish
officials. The work of CENTOS exemplifies the community's goal to
build a Jewish future. Translations of sources from CENTOS
publications in Yiddish and Polish describe the lives of the
orphaned Jewish children and the tireless efforts of adults to
better the children's circumstances.
