Pollock Family Papers [MSS 1031]
Rauh Jewish Archives at the Heinz History Center

Jews with AIDS in the Family was a support group for Jewish people in Western Pennsylvania who had AIDS, and their parents, siblings, significant others and friends, as well as anyone who had lost a loved one to the disease. Mel and Beverly Pollock started the group in the early 1990s, after losing their son Bobby to the disease. Jewish Family & Children’s Service hosted the group and held meetings in its offices and at locations throughout the local Jewish community.
