Can you recognize anyone in these photos?

In the collections of the Documentation Department there are many unidentified photographs from the post World War II period.
Documentation Department is inviting all to participate in a new project.
These photographs are mainly of Jewish children, who survived the war and were placed in Central Committee of Jews in Poland orphanages. They were taken in years 1945–1949. Unfortunately, we do not know their names, or anything about them, also — in most cases — we don’t know the place, where the photos were taken. We are curious if you may recognize yourself, or anyone you know in these photos. If you do, share with us your and your colleagues stories. Help us describe these photos.

The research only confirmed that Irenka was a Jewish child. She was adopted by a beautiful family who adopted her and looked after her in later life.
