Can you recognize anyone in these photos? no. 1

Written by: Dział Genealogii ŻIH
In the collections of the Documentation Department there are many unidentified photographs from the post World War II period. Those photos are all in the ŻIH Facebook album (link below).

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. Photographs were taken in years 1945–1949. Unfortunately, we do not know their names, or anything about them. 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.

We look forward to receiving your comments and letters at <amroczkowska@jhi.pl> and <jjagielski@jhi.pl>

You can view the Jewish Historical Institute Facebook album here.

Saving 42 Jews of the Żmudź area
Mr Marcin Andrusieczko came to our office with a history of his uncle and his grandfather. They helped a group of 42 Jews to survive the war in bunkers in „Uroczysko Haliczańskie“ forests near Żmudź and Pobołowice. Read carefully these post-war memoirs of Mr Zbysław Raczkiewicz, son of Wojciech. Please, contact us if there’s anything you could add to this story.
