| Title: | Records of the Ostrowo Jewish Community Council |
| Dates: | 1824-1919 |
| Abstract: | The Jewish community of Ostrowo, which dates back to 1724, became thoroughly Germanized in time. During the period leading up to World War I, Ostrowo’s Jewish population began a downward decline, which lasted beyond 1918. The depletion of the Jewish population was due to the steady stream of emigration to countries including Germany, the United States, and Palestine. In early October 1939 the Nazi Reich annexed the western part of Poland, including the province of Poznan. By this time, the Jewish community of Ostrowo had dwindled to 17 members. According to Pinkas Hakehilot, in December 1939 these last remaining Jews fled to some unknown destination site. The collection is only a fragment of the original Ostrowo Jewish community’s archives. The records of the Ostrowo Jewish community cover the German period. The vast majority of the material focuses on the years 1834-1919, although a few documents are older. |

Historical Note
The first mention of Ostrowo, a private town that originally belonged to the Polish aristocracy in the region of Kalisz, dates back to the year 1404. During the 17th century, Ostrowo was afflicted by a series of wars and plagues, prompting Poland’s then Minister of Finance, who was also a resident of the town, to invite outside parties to come settle in Ostrowo, with hopes that this would help remedy the city’s economic difficulties and the problems associated with its declining population.
In 1724 King Augustus II the Strong granted 12 Jews the right to settle in Ostrowo. These Jews were allowed to reside in homes located on side streets—not in the city’s center—and to rent to other Jews. With this newly augmented population, the city began to grow both economically and demographically. In 1793, when the second partition of Poland took place, Ostrowo’s total population numbered 2,541.
From a legal perspective, the Jewish residents of Ostrowo were not privy to the same rights as other Ostrowo residents. Nonetheless, they were not required to pay the standard compulsory army tax, which other residents were required to pay. By the latter part of the 18th century, Ostrowo’s Jews saw a greatly improved economic situation, and the Jewish community began to develop. The Jewish community of Ostrowo was granted the right to build a synagogue, to open a kheyder for its children, and to established a cemetery on land that was bequeathed to it by the city’s leaders. In 1773 there was no more remaining room in the first Jewish cemetery, so the Jewish community established a second one on the outskirts of the city, on additional land that it acquired.
The majority of Ostrowo’s Jewish community earned its livelihood from merchandise and petty trade. In 1770 there were 9 merchants, 9 tailors, 3 furriers and in addition, 2 physicians. By 1794 the number of tailors had increased to 31, the number of merchants remained the same, and the number of furriers had increased to 8. In 1835 the Ostrowo Jewish community established an elementary school of two classes, which was recognized by and received the financial support of the German government. At the time of the school’s founding, there was a student body of 136 children. The teachers were all government-licensed educators. In 1860, a Talmud-Torah was also established, which the Jewish community funded. During the first year of its existence, the school had a student body totaling 362. In 1866 Ostrowo’s two gymnasiums had a student body totaling 367, of which 77 were Jews.
In 1871 Ostrowo’s Jewish population numbered 1, 982 out of the total of ca. 7,000. During the course of the 19th century, the Ostrowo Jewish community became increasingly established and Jews played an especially prominent role in the city’s clothing and fur trades. However, by the close of the 19th century, Ostrowo witnessed the same overall tendencies of other cities in this region: The younger generation of Ostrowo Jews began to gravitate toward larger German cities. In particular, they tended to settle in areas where maskilim and professionals already resided.
With the growth of Ostrowo’s Jewish community, a new synagogue was established in the Moorish style. The synagogue’s cornerstone laying ceremony was held in April 1857. Within a few years, the Jewish community also built a new beys-medresh and a ritual bath. In 1905 a branch of the Zionist movement was established, which provided great support to the Zionist Congress of 1911.
During World War I many young Jewish males were drafted into the German army. After World War I, when Ostrowo was returned to Poland, the city’s Jewish population began a rapid and steady decline. Most Jews leaving Ostrowo moved to larger cities in Germany, or emigrated to the United States or Palestine.
In the beginning of September 1939, when Nazi Germany conquered Ostrowo, only 17 Jews remained in the city. In December 1939, when the last remaining Jews of Ostrowo learned of the fate of Jews from nearby towns, they all fled to unknown destinations. The Germans destroyed both the synagogue and cemetery of the Ostrowo Jewish community.
A Centrum Judaicum catalogue was published in 2001 and contains references to 34 files dating 1798-1912.

Return to the Top of PageArrangement
This collection was part of the YIVO Archives in Vilna before the Second World War. The records were arranged, numbered and described in Vilna. A part of the original catalog survives and is included with the collection (folder A). The arrangement used here relies on the Vilna catalog.
The main body of the collection is arranged in 184 numbered folders. Some files are missing from the collection and the corresponding catalog entries are marked thus. In certain instances, folders were added and inserted at a later time than the collection’s original arrangement. This has been indicated by the addition of the letter A. As a supplement to the collection’s main body, there is a section of financial volumes that has been arranged at the end of the collection. The folders contained within this latter section have been numbered F1 to F12.
The records contained within the collection are those of the Jewish communal administration of Ostrowo. Also included here are some materials from other Jewish agencies in the town.

Related Material
At the present time, the Ostrowo communal records can be found in several locations. Part of the communal archives was sent about 1910 to the Gesamtarchiv der Deutschen Juden in Berlin. Materials were later dispersed among several archival repositories around the world. A portion of the materials spanning the years 1724-1875 found its way to the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People in Jerusalem. Another portion was taken over by the East German state archives and ultimately returned to the German Jewish community. Today these materials can be found in the “Centrum Judaicum,” which is a museum and archives located on Oranienburger Strasse, at the site of the recently reconsecrated Neue Synagoge in Berlin. Yet another portion is located at the Jewish Historical Institute (ŻIH) in Warsaw. Finally, fragments of the Ostrowo records are located in Moscow, at the former “Osobyi” (Special) archives, a repository for records confiscated by the Red Army from Germany and other countries during World War II.
Return to the Top of PageCustodial History
Prior to 1942, the collection remained in the custody of the YIVO Vilna archives. During the Nazi occupation of Vilna in 1942, the records were looted by the Einsatzstab Rosenberg and sent to the NSDAP Institute zur Erforschung der Judenfrage in Frankfurt-am-Main. In 1945 they were recovered by the U.S. army and returned to the YIVO in New York, via the U.S. army archival depot in Offenbach. The records arrived in New York in 1947.
