The 1939 Society, established as "The '1939' Club" when fourteen Holocaust survivors of Polish origin, meet in Los Angeles.
Together, they formed a new organization dedicated to caring for fellow survivors and their families. The 1939 Society is
a community dedicated to Holocaust remembrance, witness, and education.
In 1999, The 1939 Society becomes a co-sponsor, along with Chapman University, of the Holocaust Art and Writing Contest. Later
in 2001, Chapman University inaugurates The "1939" Club's Leopold Page Memorial Righteous Rescuers Lecture Series, sponsored
