5. As the 1920s came to an end, a wave of bank failures foreshadowed the human tragedy soon to
follow. Set off by the stock market crash in October 1929, 659 banks failed in 1929; in 1930 the
number had risen to 1,350. As people lost their job and their investments, millions defaulted on loans
and mortgages, spurring an even large epidemic of a failures. The number increased to 2,293 in
1931, and 1,453 banks closed their doors in 1932, the worst year of the depression. In total, $3.2
billion in savings accounts were lost. Many families were left penniless, and thousands who had
saved for homes or retirement lost everything.
As one bank after another failed during the Great Depression, depositors rushed to withdraw the
savings from their bank accounts. People were often met with closed doors, shuttered windows, and
silence in the face of their frantic appeals. In Brother, Can You Spare a Dime? author Milton Meltzer
presents one journalist's account of a bank failure in a small Midwestern town:
"In the middle of the banking day the doors were closed by the examiners .... [One woman]
beat with her fists upon the closed plate-glass doors and screamed and sobbed without restraint. She
had in a savings account the $2,000 from her husband's insurance and $963 she had saved over a
period of twenty-five years from making rag rugs. Nothing was left but charity."
