The United Jewish Survivors of Nazi Persecution, also known as the Katsetler Farband, was a non-political Jewish membership organization for Holocaust survivors in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Associated with the labor movement, it offered financial assistance for settling in the Americas, legal and medical aid, educational, cultural and social programs. It also provided aid to refugees in DP camps, and help with emigration (YIVO, 2005). From its very beginning in the 1940s, the Katsetler Farband privileged narratives of resistance, conceiving of itself as a veterans organization among other military veterans groups in the United States. The focus on resistance pivoted particularly on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Farband put forward an understanding of the uprising that was both Jewish and universal, emphasizing the moral authority of those who had fought (Slucki, 2019).
