Provenance
The pre-war photographs were gathered in Aug. 1939 in Gąbin, Poland, by Yeshayahu"Shaike" Bruk, Meir Holcman's cousin. The wartime photographs were gathered in Gąbin by the Ettinger brothers who liberated the town with the Soviet Army in 1945 and recognized Meir Holcman's family. They later transferred the photographs to Meir Holcman. The collection was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2004 by Ada Holtzman Meir Holcman's daughter.
