Waiting for the Forwards:
This photograph of newsboys
was taken by Lewis Hine at
1:15 a.m. on the steps of the
Forward building on New
York's Lower East Side.
According to Hine, the group
included a number of people
as young as 10. The newsboy
in the first row is holding
copies ofWahrheit (Truth),
one of the Forward's
competitors.

ext week, visitors to the
nation's capital will be able
to view numerous original
documents marking the first Jewish
settlements in America and other
important milestones.
"From Haven to Home: A Library
of Congress Exhibition Marking
350 Years of Jewish Life in America"
will open on Sept. 9 in the
Northwest Gallery of the Library's
Thomas Jefferson Building. On view
through Dec. 18, the exhibition is
free and open to the public 10 a.m.-
5 p.m. Mondays-Saturdays.
"The Library's collections are rich
in materials that document the his-
tory and culture of America's Jewish
community," said Librarian of
Congress James H. Billington.
"Letters from George Washington,
James Madison, Thomas Jefferson
and Abraham Lincoln to prominent
Jewish Americans and comprehen-
sive collections of materials in a
variety of formats by and about
America's Jews testify to a sympa-
thetic, creative and reciprocal rela-
tionship between America and its
Jewish community."
"From Haven to Home" marks the
anniversary of the arrival in New
Amsterdam (New York City) of 23
Jews fleeing Recife, Brazil, which
passed from Dutch to Portuguese
rule in 1654. The exhibition fea-
tures more than 150 treasures of
Judaica Americana from the
Library's collections as well as items
on loan from partner institutions on

the congressionally recognized
Commission for Commemorating
350 Years of American Jewish
History. Partner institutions include
the National Archives and Records
Administration, the American
Jewish Historical Society and the
Jacob Rader Marcus Center of the
American Jewish Archives.
Featured items from the Library's
collections that will be on display
include:

• The original letter from the
Newport Hebrew Congregation to
George Washington as well as
Washington's response, both of
which include the famous phrase
asserting that the United States "to
bigotry gives no sanction, to perse-
cution no assistance";

• Thomas Jefferson's 1818 letter to
prominent American Jewish leader
Mordecai M. Noah, in which the
former president cautions that
"more remains to be done, for altho'
we are free by the law, we are not so
in practice";

• Rare colonial maps of Newport
and New York showing the locations
of each city's synagogue as well as
other houses of worship;

• Abraham Lincoln's notation,
penciled on the back of an envelope,
confirming his intent to rescind
Grant's infamous Order No. 11 ban-
ning Jews as a class from areas of
