A collection of twenty-five posters documenting Yiddish theater in Argentina and Poland during the years 1917-1958.

The collection also contains a folder of newspaper clippings, advertisements, title pages, journals, and works written or edited by Nechemia Zucker.
It is obvious that a collection of this size cannot document in a complete way the activities of such a large and long lived organization as the Student Division of the YMCA. The documentation available in this collection is very thorough in selected areas and extremely valuable for the insight it provides on the changing character of YMCA concerns. The papers are also valuable for the way in which they complement other archival collections at the Divinity Library to provide a detailed picture of the development of religious work among college and university students in the United States.
This collection includes papers, photographs, and moving films that document the internment of Japanese American Yonekazu Satoda at the Jerome Relocation Center in Denison, Arkansas, 1942-1945, as well as his military service with the United States Army in Japan, 1946-1948. Additional material documents other aspects of his life, especially his education as an accountant, as well as correspondence with friends and businesses.
