Title: Iwan Gruen papers 1925-1981 [manuscript]

The Rabbi Iwan Gruen Papers are housed in one archival box and are arranged in two series: one pertaining to his time in the Free City of Danzig, and the other on his activities after his arrival in the United States. Most of the records pertain to Rabbi Gruen time at Temple Israel in New Castle. However, a few records remain from his time in Danzig, including a photograph of him in his rabbinic robes, his rabbinic ordination diploma written in German and Hebrew, and his passport. This series also contains records of his emigration to the United States, including programs, postcards, menus, and landing arrangements from the Aquitania, the ship he and his family came to the United States on in 1939. Materials pertaining to Rabbi Gruen time in the United States include articles written by and about him, a church bulletin, a short history of the Jewish community in New Castle, and synagogue bulletins with articles pertaining to his death in 1981. Of note are his honorary doctor of divinity degree from the Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion, and photographs depicting confirmations, bar and bat mitzvahs, a wedding, and the Rabbi Gruen twenty-fifth anniversary as rabbi of Temple Israel.
