Series II: Borofsky Family, undated, circa 1903-1987

This series contains vital records, correspondence, photocopied newspaper clippings, and photographs related to members of the Borofsky and Grosbayne families. Included among these are musical compositions by Jacob Borofsky and Mitchell Grosbayne and a history of the family compiled by Charlotte Borofsky Lastnik, daughter of Hyman Borofsky, Jacob Borofsky’s brother. Another group of documents reflects Ida S. Borofsky’s work with Beth Israel and Jewish Memorial Hospitals, with copies of speeches she gave, one of which is in scroll format, articles written about her in newspapers and hospital newsletters, and correspondence commemorating her life and achievements. Two certificates honoring her, as well as a family photograph, are in oversized folders.
