The Straus Historical Society fosters educational activities with respect to the settlement of Jews in the United States and, in particular, the family of Lazarus and Sara Straus, their ancestors and their descendants. The focus of the Society's activities on the Straus Family is based on the family's involvement in government, commerce, and philanthropy.
The history of the Straus family is part of world history. It is written for the present. It provokes discussion, imagination and creation. It ties the present with the past and draws pathways to the future.

This special edition of the SHS newsletter features an article written by Rob Garber, a member of the Bloomingdale Neighborhood History Group.
Since April 2023, Rob has worked with SHS to understand the history of Isidor and Ida Straus' residences in New York City. His questions and research into this topic led to even more questions and ultimately uncovered a fascinating new story. In this special edition, we share his findings and the many supporting images. We are grateful to Rob for his interest and careful research and for allowing us to publish his results. We hope you all enjoy this bonus supplement of the SHS newsletter!
