Vintage 1955 Women's American World ORT Lapel Pin Click images to enlarge Description This pin was acquired at an estate auction in Western Illinois. It is appealing, desirable & collectible. ORT (the Organization for Rehabilitation through Training) was founded in Russia in 1880 to promote vocational training of trades and agriculture among impoverished Jews. It opened its American, all-male organization in 1922. Women, mostly wives of male ORT members, became involved in the organization five years later, founding a women’s auxiliary group (WAO). Women fundraised for the social work of ORT through the first decades of the twentieth century, reflecting Jewish women’s expanding role in public life. As the Nazis took power in Germany, WAO helped impoverished Jews in Europe and shifted their efforts towards aid for displaced persons. Much of its work focused on creating vocational and technical schools across the world. In the later twentieth century, WAO expanded to help create medical services for students and provide recreational facilities, among many other programs.
