Tens of thousands of Jewish children were left orphaned as a result of World War I and the years of conflict that followed. In response, Jewish leaders in Poland established CENTOS, the Central Union of Associations for Jewish Orphan Care. Through CENTOS, social workers and other professionals worked together to provide Jewish children with the preparation they needed to survive during a challenging time. They established new organizations that operated outside the jurisdiction of the recognized Jewish community and with the support of Polish officials. The work of CENTOS exemplifies the community's commitment to building a Jewish future. Translations of sources from CENTOS publications in Yiddish and Polish provide insight into the lives of the orphaned Jewish children and the tireless efforts of adults to improve their circumstances.
