Biographical Note
Oscar I. Janowsky was born on January 15, 1900 in Suchowola, Poland to Aaron and Dina (Bobre) Janowsky. In 1910 the Janowsky’s immigrated to the United States. In 1921 he graduated from City College of New York with a BSS. He then went on to earn his Ph.D. in History from Columbia University in 1933. In 1922 he married Pauline; they had three children Sylvia, Melvin, and Tamar. They remained married until her death in the 1980s. Sometime thereafter he married Lillian who cared for him in the remaining years.
Oscar Janowsky served as Professor of History at City College of New York from 1922 until his retirement in 1966. During his tenure at the college he initiated the development of the MA Liberal Arts program and served as the Director of Graduate Studies (1951-1957). Additionally, he served as part of the doctoral faculty at City University of New York while there he assisted in the development of the doctoral history program. Upon his retirement in 1966 he was named the Jacob Ziskind Visiting Professor of History and Contemporary Jewish Studies at Brandeis University.
Much of Janowsky’s research focused on the common ground between Jewish Studies and general subjects with special emphasis on modern history. The courses he taught focused on international relations and imperialism, the rights of national minorities, Jewish history and literature, American Jewry, Israel, and modern European history. If one were to take his research as journey of discovery to discovery, the common theme would be seeking an understanding of minority rights and culture in pluralistic societies.
Initially Oscar studied the effects of imperialism on national minorities in Europe. His first major work Jews and Minority Rights (1898-1919) was published in 1933. Due to his research he served as an advisor (1935-1936) to League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, James G. McDonald, whom he assisted in the writing of McDonald's Letter of Resignation. The following year he, along with Melvin Fagan, wrote International Aspects of German Racial Policies (1937). He then traveled throughout the Balkans and East-Central Europe researching the problems of national minorities, these travels and his notes were used in the writing of People at Bay: The Jewish Problem in East-Central Europe (1938) and later Nationalities and National Minorities (1945).
Following his time abroad Janowsky returned to the United States, and with other Jewish scholars sought to understand the place of American Jews within American culture and how best to combat anti-Semitism in the United States. Their efforts were edited by Janowsky in The American Jew: A Composite Portrait (1942). Due to his research and knowledge of American Jewry, he was commissioned by the National Jewish Welfare Board to direct a study on the Jewish orientation of Jewish community centers in the United States by surveying 300 community centers. The results where published in the seminal JWB Survey (1948) also known as the “Janowsky Report.” His recommendations emphasized the Jewish cultural aspects of the centers rather than non-sectarian programming.
Continuing to examine Jewish life in the United States and the changes taking place in community centers, Janowsky sought to understand how Jewish teachers were trained. In 1952 he was named Chairman of the Commission for the Study of Jewish Education in the United States. Along with U.Z. Engelmann, Janowsky, working for the commission, organized and directed the study of Jewish Education in the United States. His research in the field of Jewish Education was published in The Education of American Jewish Teachers (1967).
For most of his academic career he served as member of various groups working to establish and support the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. These included the Board of Governors, the Academic Council, where he served as chairman, and the American Friends of Hebrew University. He also organized the American Student Program for the university. Sometime in the 1950s his research interests changed again, this time focusing on the welfare-state policies practiced in Israel. His findings are covered in his Foundations of Israel: Emergence of a Welfare State (1959).
Nearing the end of his career, he returned to the study of American Jewry and in 1964 edited The American Jew: A Reappraisal (1964) more than two decades after the original examination of Jews and Jewish culture in the United States was published. Two years later Janowsky retired from his post at City College and moved to the community of Rossmoor in New Jersey. From the time of his retirement until his death in 1993, he continued to serve the academic and Jewish communities as a teacher and scholar. From the study of Jewish and other minorities facing turmoil in Europe, to Jewish community centers and education in the United States, to the establishment of Israel’s welfare policies, Oscar Janowsky’s research is both broad and deep.

This collection consists of the personal and professional correspondence, research files, various clippings, and work of Oscar I. Janowsky.
Series I: Academic
His work as a professor and administrator is documented in Series I: Academic. This bulk of this series documents his career at the City College of New York. Of particular interest are those files pertaining to his work establishing City College's graduate program in history. This includes correspondence to colleagues and college officials, and committee meeting minutes and reports. During his tenure at City College, Janowsky was integral to the establishment of the Metropolitan New York Area Studies department by securing grants from the Rockefeller and Stuart Hirschmann Foundations. Related to his research is the file containing his coursework for a class on modern imperialism.
This series also documents his work with the American Friends of Hebrew University and Hebrew University where he served as a member of the Academic Council, Library Committee, and Board of Governors. The type of records found here include correspondence, meeting minutes, and reports. In addition to this material are an assortment of correspondence with colleagues, friends, students, and other universities.
Series II: League of Nations
His work with the League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, James G. McDonald is documented in the second series of this collection. Due to the differing types of material, the series required additional division into subseries. The first subseries contains the correspondence of Janowsky with associates and others. The second subseries contains correspondence, diaries, and reports of Commissioner McDonald. Of particular importance is a copy of McDonald’s letter of resignation. Along with this letter are various clippings and correspondence collected by Janowsky in the aftermath of McDonald’s resignation.
Janowsky’s work as an advisor and scholar in pre-war Europe, specifically his research and observations on the plight of minorities, especially Jews, is documented in the sub-series three, titled Papers and Reports. Much of the material here is part of his larger research files associated with minorities found in Series IV: Research and Writings – Sub-series 1. These papers were not moved due to issues of original order. Found in this sub-series are the notes and drafts of two of his major works International Aspects of German Racial Policies, which he coauthored with Melvin Fagan, and People at Bay.
Sub-series four that contains a number of photographs. A unique document in this collection is the photo-essay, "Pictorial experiences of a Dutch motor cyclist," depicting German anti-Semitism through various signage.
Series III: Personal
This series contains material related to the personal and professional life of Oscar Janowsky as researcher and scholar. This series has been divided into six sub-series due to the various types of documents and their content.
The first sub-series is an assortment of clippings, notes, notices, mailings, records, and speeches made by Oscar Janowsky throughout his career. Of particular interest to the researcher are Janowsky’s obituary and his official records and credentials.
The second grouping is his correspondence to various friends, colleagues, and associates. These include such notable figures as Cyrus Adler, Morton Gottschall, Louis Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, James, T. Shotwell, Salo Baron, and many others. Topically this material is quite diverse and ranges from a personal statement made to his youngest child and her husband to correspondence with Hebrew University regarding Janowsky’s honorary doctorate.
The third sub-series contains the diaries of Oscar Janowsky from 1917 to 1988 with gaps. The format of this material consists of loose sheets that appear to have been part of a bound volume and small day planners that were used as diaries.
An unpublished autobiography is found in the fourth sub-series. The memoirs of Oscar Janowsky can be found here in draft form with various notes and marginalia found throughout the sub-series. The manuscript appears to be complete with the exception of a chapter 2.
The fifth sub-series contains various printed mementos and memorabilia collected during his trips abroad. The last sub-series contains various photos of Janowsky with colleagues and unnamed persons.
Series IV: Research and Writings
This series contains the bulk of this collection. Included in this series is an assortment of clippings, notes, and correspondence documenting the thought processes and observations made in the course of producing works related to his research interests. This series was divided into three parts based primarily on content, except in the case of the note cards.
The first sub-series documents the main focus of his research efforts. These include such topics as American Jewry and anti-Semitism to Human Rights and Jewish Community Centers to Israel and Minorities. Within this topical arrangement the researcher will find all of Janowsky’s notes, clippings, drafts, articles, and assorted information pertaining to each topic.
The second sub-series contains an assortment of clippings from newspapers and journals on a variety of topics ranging from the clearly defined "Media Bias in Headlines" to the ambiguously titled “Cynical, Droll, Antics, Sloganeering.” These clippings, while not part of the larger research file, are tangentially connected to the research interests of Janowsky.
The third sub-series contains the note cards related to the research of Oscar Janowsky. These have been left in the arrangement as found in his file cabinet. They contain notes and clippings related to his major interests found in the research files and his minor interests as found in the clippings folders. Any researcher should consider examining these for additional information; while they may lack the overall depth of his main research files, they should be considered supplemental to them.
Return to the Top of PageArrangement
The arrangement of this collection has been imposed by the processing archivist with the intention of maintaining the order in which the documents were found. At the start of processing, it was determined that prior attempts had been made in organizing the collection or at the very least estimating the research value of the papers contained within. No continuity either of content or record type was found upon initial inspection. The imposed arrangement was made based on an understanding of Janowsky’s career and research interests and what might be of interest to potential researchers. Where this could be accomplished while still maintaining some original order, changes were made. In short, the order of the collection is not that of Oscar Janowsky but of the processing archivist and therefore certain oversights and errors are wholly his.
The folders within series are organized primarily by a mixture of artificial and original terms describing the general contents, followed by terms that are more specific. These were then placed in alphabetical order and then chronological order.
Additionally all Photographs, and atypical documents are given their own series for research purposes. The note cards have been left in the order as found in a small file cabinet.

Scope and Content:Janowsky's work with the League of Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, James G. McDonald, is documented in the second series of this collection. Due to the differing types of material, the series required additional division into sub-series. The first series contains the correspondence of Janowsky with associates and others. The second series contains the papers, correspondence, diaries, and reports of Commissioner McDonald. Of particular interest to anyone researching intelligence found by the League of Nations about German policies regarding Jews and other minorities is McDonald’s letter of resignation and the related material. Along with this letter are various clippings and correspondence collected by Janowsky in the aftermath of McDonald’s resignation. Janowsky’s work as an advisor and scholar in pre-war Europe, specifically his research and observations on the plight of minorities, especially Jews, is documented in the sub-series three, titled Papers and Reports. Much of the material here is part of his larger research files associated with minorities that are found in Series IV: Research and Writings – sub-series 1. However, due to issues of original order, the papers were not moved to that series. Found in this sub-series are the notes and drafts of two of his major works International Aspects of German Racial Policies, which he coauthored, with Melvin Fagan, and People at Bay. There is also a sub-series that contains a number of photographs. A unique document in this collection is the photo-essay "Pictorial experiences of a Dutch motor cyclist," depicting German anti-Semitism through various signage. |

Scope and Content:This series contains material related to the personal and professional life of Oscar Janowsky as both a researcher and scholar. This series has been divided into six sub-series due to the various types of documents and their content. The first sub-series is an assortment of clippings, notes, notices, mailings, records, and speeches made by Oscar Janowsky throughout his career. Of particular interest to the researcher are Janowsky’s obituary and his official records and credentials. The second grouping is contains Janowsky's correspondence to various friends, colleagues, and associates. These include such notable figures as Cyrus Adler, Morton Gottschall, Louis Brandeis, Felix Frankfurter, James T. Shotwell, Salo Baron, and many others. Topically this material is quite diverse and ranges from the personal -- a statement made to his youngest child and her husband -- to correspondence with Hebrew University regarding Janowsky’s honorary doctorate. The third sub-series contain the diaries of Oscar Janowsky from 1917 to 1988 with gaps. The format of this material consists of loose sheets that appear to have been part of a bound volume and small day planners that were used as diaries. An unpublished autobiography is found in the fourth sub-series. The memoirs of Oscar Janowsky can be found here in draft form with various notes and marginalia found throughout the sub-series. The manuscript appears to be complete with the exception of a chapter 2. The clarity on the whereabouts is unknown, is it missing or was simply mislabeled by Janowsky in the course of filing. The fifth sub-series contains various printed momentos and memorabilia collected during his various trips abroad. The last sub-series contain various photos of Janowsky with colleagues and unnamed persons. |

Scope and Content:This series contains the bulk of the collection. Included in this series is an assortment of clippings, notes, and correspondence documenting Janowsky's thought processes and observations made in the course of producing works related to his research interests. This series was divided into three parts based primarily by content except in the case of the note cards. The first sub-series documents the main focus of his research efforts. These include such topics as American Jewry and anti-Semitism to Human Rights and Jewish Community Centers to Israel and Minorities. Within this topical arrangement, the researcher will find all of Janowsky’s notes, clippings, drafts, articles, and assorted information pertaining to each topic. The second sub-series contains an assortment of clippings from newspapers and journals on a variety of topics ranging from the clearly defined, "Media Bias in Headlines" to the ambiguously titled “Cynical, Droll, Antics, Sloganeering.” These clippings, while not part of the larger research files, and therefore might not be directly related, are tangentially connected to the research interests of Janowsky. The third sub-series contains the note cards related to the research of Oscar Janowsky. These have been left in the arrangement as found in his file cabinet. They contain notes and clippings related to his major interests found in the research files and his minor interests as found in the clippings folders. Any researcher should consider examining these for additional information; while they may lack the overall depth of his main research files they should be considered supplemental to them. |

Subseries 2: Clippings, undated, 1925-1993. |
|||
| 0.875 linear feet. (1.75 boxes). Box 44, Folder 6 to Box 45, Folder 18. | |||
Arrangement:The folders within the series are organized primarily by a mixture of artificial and original terms describing the general contents followed thereafter by terms that are more specific. These are then placed in alphabetical order. Where further ordering is required of similarly titled folders that arrangement is made based on the dates of the included material, with older material being placed before newer material. |
|||
Scope and Content:This sub-series contains an assortment of clippings from newspapers and journals on a variety of topics ranging from the clearly defined "Media Bias in Headlines" to the ambiguously titled “Cynical, Droll, Antics, Sloganeering.” These clippings while not part of the larger research file, and therefore might not be directly related, are tangentially connected to the research interests of Janowsky. |

Subseries 3: Note Cards, undated. |

| 1.5 linear feet. (5 card boxes). Box 47 to Box 51. | |||
Arrangement:The folders within the series are organized primarily by a mixture of artificial and original terms describing the general contents followed thereafter by terms that are more specific. These are then placed in alphabetical order. Where further ordering is required of similarly titled folders that arrangement is made based on the dates of the included material, with older material being placed before newer material. |
|||
Scope and Content:This sub-series contains the note cards related to the research of Oscar Janowsky. These have been left in the arrangement as found in his file cabinet. They contain notes and clippings related to his major interests found in the research files and his minor interests as found in the clippings folders. Any researcher should consider examining these for additional information; while they may lack the overall depth of his main research files they should be considered supplemental to them. |
