THE WARSAW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY, FOR THE YEAR 1938-39.
This rare telephone directory, published shortly prior to the Nazi occupation of Poland, showcases the extraordinary size of the Jewish community living in the capital city. I
n addition to Warsaw, the directory also includes telephone listings for many surrounding areas. Entries include a personal name, occupation, street address, and telephone number. A Warsaw business directory appears at the end.
Warsaw`s prewar Jewish population of more than 350,000 constituted about 30% of the city`s total population. The Warsaw Jewish community was the second largest in the world, second only to New York City. When Soviet troops liberated a devastated Warsaw on January 17, 1945 some 174,000 people were left in the city - less than 6% of the prewar population. Approximately 11,500 of those survivors were Jews. (USHMM).
