DO YOU RECOGNIZE THIS BOY?

Nils Lindø from Denmark is looking for contact with a Jewish teenager his family hosted after the war for recuperation.
As Nils remembers — his name was Andrzej Geisler (or Gajsler), he was Jewish, born around 1932, the son of a Warsaw, university professor.

The archive of the Warsaw’s university could not locate a name of a professor called Geisler who worked there before the war.
We didn’t find him in the address books or public records.

Maybe the name Gajsler was a borrowed name or a name used in a false identity.

If anyone knows the story or recognizes the boy on the right side playing with the Lindo family dog — please contact us at familyheirtage@jhi.pl.

Letter from Vilnius
“I would like to ask whether it is possible to identify the names of the families which are in the photographs, as well as to establish what happened to them, whether anyone survived and if they have descendents or relatives. I would be very grateful for your help.”

Quizzes from Milejczyce
In 2010 during the renovation of the pre-war school building 70 history quizzes from 1940 were found when replacing the windows. They were once written by Jewish, Polish and Russian children, all attending the same school. In 1940 they were answering questions regarding Pharaoh Ramses the Second and his war with the Hittites.
