Lazarus SACHS

Housing 1 folder Period: 1930s-1950

Lazarus Sachs died in 1950. He was the father of Zena Sachs who served many years as a secretary to Professor Julius Stone. She kept a small box containing handwritten documents in Yiddish from her father before giving them to the archive in April 2003. One Yiddish document written by Lazarus Sachs delineates a Soviet plan for a Jewish settlement in Birrabaijan in the 1930s. Some of the documents are written by others such as another entitled "Hannukah". The documents have been digitalised on to a DCD Rom thanks to a donation from Zina's nephew Gregory Sachs. The documents await expert translation as most are handwritten.
