Blam and Selinger family papers

The Blam and Selinger families consist of Golda and Hersch Blam, their daughter, Machcia Selinger, Machcia’s son, Oleg Selinger, and others. In 1942, during the time of Nazi occupation, the Blam family lived in the Drohobycz Ghetto in Poland (now Drohobych, Ukraine) and the Selingers lived in Sambor, Poland (now Sambir, Ukraine). Golda and Hersch eventually perished in Belzec extermination camp or were shot in the Bronicki forest near Drohobycz, sometime in late 1942 or 1943 when all Jews living in Drohobycz were murdered. Machcia and Oleg survived the Holocaust.
