A plan to establish a library of records of American Jews, proposed by Dr. Walter M. Kraus, retired psychiatrist and genealogist, will be discussed at a meeting at the home of Mrs. Goodman Richard Davis here the night of May 6. Prominent Jews who have indicated an interest in Dr. Kraus’s project have been asked to attend. The core of the proposed library would be his records, compiled during thirty years, of all Jews who lived in America during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and their descendants down to the present day.
