  • Description
  • Staff and counselors line up for this photograph during a girls' session at the Emma Farm Camp in Harmony, Pennsylvania. This camp was one of many activities and programs offered by the Irene Kaufmann Settlement (IKS) for Hill District children. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kaufmann endowed the IKS in 1909, in memory of their daughter to serve the Jewish immigrant community that lived in Pittsburgh's Hill District neighborhood. The IKS was originally founded as the Columbian Council School and Settlement in 1895. The Irene Kaufmann Settlement merged with the YM&WHA and evolved into the present-day Jewish Community Center (JCC) in Pittsburgh's Squirrel Hill neighborhood. The JCC continues the tradition of the IKS in providing programs and services to the nonsectarian local community.
