Document
The papers consist of 15 total black-and-white images: eight photographs and seven postcards documenting the life of the Jewish community in Czestochowa between 1946-1949. There are four postcard images depicting the Jewish cemetery, three of which indicate the year 1949. There are five group images, one a postcard, and the others photographs, one of which bears a handwritten, Yiddish caption and the year 1948. An additional photo likely depicts the place of execution of Czestochowa’s Jews, and another the greeting of the President of the Republic of Poland (before 1939). Also included are a photo of an unknown person in the LWP uniform and a seated man and woman. Many of the images bear information about the photo studio in Polish, and some were taken by L. Kusznir and Zenon Stefanowski.
