Document

Cotains three photographs related to Bernard Stern (donor). Includes a photographic postcard, circa 1935, from Lithuania, of two women, standing, posing outside, backed against finely manicured landscape and buildings. Flora Stern (donor's mother), is one of the women in the photograph [right]; a photographic postcard, dated 1939 July 15, of the medical faculty of a university in Kaunas; and a photograph, dated 1947, showing a slogan, perhaps from Palesting, along with a woman with a baby in her arms.
