The Plotzker Young Men's Independent Association was an American society for Jewish immigrants from Plock, Poland. “The Jewish presence in Plock (Yiddish: Plotzk) dates back many centuries, probably to the 13th and 14th centuries, when records include them. The Polish kings extended rights to them in 1264 and the 14th century, and provided continued political support through the centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, their more than 1200 residents comprised more than 48% of the city's population in what is considered the city's Old Town; through the century, their proportions ranged from 30s and 40 percent. ” (Wikipedia, 2016) The Association was formed in 1893.
