BeskrivningThis plaque is in honour of the contribution made by Mr Ph Dunaesky to the Hebrew National Orphan Home.
The Hebrew National Orphan home was born on New York's lower East side on December 5, 1912, when a group of men and women having raised $64 dollars launched the idea of establishing a Jewish orthodox home for the care of orphaned and destitute Jewish boys. the idea became reality on October 14, 1913, when a committee of the Bessarabian Verband, a group of Rumanian Jews timidly paid a first instalment of $400 for the premises at 57 East 7th St., and on June 7,1914 the H: tiOH House as it was then known opened its doors with accommodations for about 50 boys. The "H" as it quickly became known expanded its facilities by adding the premises at 52 St. Marks Place and 8th St. The two converted tenement houses backed each other so that their backyards created an enclosed courtyard.
