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 by Steven Spielberg's Righteous Persons Foundation.
