I will briefly tell you my life story. In 1939 I fled the Germans in Warsaw with my family. I settled in White Russia in a town near Bialystok, Tsekhanovits.

There I met our comrade Victor Alter who was working on the committee to help the refugees. From there we were sent to Asia, where we worked in the kolkhozi until 1943. Then the Russians mobilized us into a Polish army. I was at the front, and in 1944 was wounded near Warsaw. At the end o

[Letter attached to photo] Paris, June 1, 1953. Dear Friend Pat, Received a copy of your letter of May 28 of this year to Friend Shrager, about the bill which we sent you. You will receive an explanation of the whole matter shortly. As we have already written you, Frank Rosenblum of the Amalgamated recently visited the Vladeck Home. Enclosed are two photos taken by Mr. and Mrs.Rosenblum during their visit in the Vladeck Home. The photos will probably be useful to you. Best wishes, yours, Y. Shmulevitsh.

Sponsorship service. Thanks to the initiative of the Federation of French Jews in New York, a couple hundred children receive direct assistance from America. Many Americans sponsor our children. The children receive letters and packages from their American friends. They respond to the letters and packages regularly and express their thanks to their American friends, whom they have never met. The children who live with relatives are called to the office of the Colonie Scolaire, where the packages and letters are distributed to them. Many children answer their American friends as soon as they receive the "good things" In the picture: 2 children receive the American packages. The girl's name is Helen Feselman, 11 1/2 years old. Both of her parents were deported in 1942. Her father was a driver. Since the deportation, the Colonie Scolaire has looked after Helen. During the occupation, the child was hidden with peasants in a village. Now she lives with her grandmother. The child goes to school and receives a month

As the courier between the partisan general staff and the underground organization, she passed through German lines 18 times bringing important documents to the Vilna ghetto. Zelda never returned to the forest empty handed. She snuck into concentration camps and rescued people. She brought tens of guns from the city to the partisans. The fighter fell into the hands of the enemy four times: twice in the hands of the Gestapo, once of the police, and finally of the "White" Poles who operated in the surrounding forests and kept a special eye out for Jewish partisans. Thanks to her cool and determined demeanor, she escaped from the bandits all four times and carried out her missions. The partisan Dina Royznvald, one of the most important couriers between forest and city, did no less. And Reyzl Korczak? This modest heroic

The cooperative was created by the member printers, following an initiative of the Brith Avodah in Israel, with the assistance of the Jewish Labor Committee and the Center for Cooperation. The members are new immigrants, mostly older people who were unable to find work. At first, the cooperative experienced hard times because it had to buy several new machines, and also because it lacked investment capital. Over time the situation stabilized. The cooperative now undertakes jobs, mostly books and periodicals in various languages: Yiddish, Hebrew, Polish, English. It has been able to attract a stable clientele because of the precision of its work. The cooperative prints a number of publications put out by the Histadrut and the Center for Cooperation. In recent years, the cooperative has printed both the monthly orga

[Clipping] From Letste nayes, April 4, 1968. A Dramatic Studio - An Example for the Theater/"Be a Jew" in the Production by the Drama Club of the "Arbeter Ring"/ The drama club of the "Workmen's Circle" in Tel Aviv has now been active for ten years, and it has already made an important place for itself in the cultural and theatrical life of the city. In this time, the members of the circle - working people who carry out their volunteer cultural work with much devotion - have produced a great number of plays from the better repertoire of the Yiddish theater. t The current production is a version of "Yankl Boyle" by Leon Kobrin. A classic of the Yiddish theater, it tells the story of a young country Jew who is torn between religious Judaism and his love for a gentile girl.] With this presentation, the dramatic club of the "Arbeter Ring"...can serve as a good example for the country's professional theater troupes. It would be worthwhile for this play to be performed elsewhere besides Tel Aviv.

[Clipping] A Beacon in the Dark/Dluzhnovski's "The Lonely Ship" Performed by the Dramatic Ensemble of the "Arbeter Ring" t The writer notes the difficulty of performing plays with a "high degree of dramatic tension," as evidenced by the recent failure of a play performed by Habimah. The production by the Arbeter Ring theatrical group is a success, despite the limitations inherent in an amateur production. The play deals with the moral dilemma of the French captain of a ship full of Jewish refugees when faced with a German submarine's demand that he turn over a particular passenger wanted by the Germans. Should he turn the man over, or should he risk the destruction of the entire ship?] In envelope marked in English "Children's Yiddish afternoon schools in Israel," and in Yiddish "Arbeter Ring, Tel Aviv, Israel."

[Letter on letterhead of the Vladeck Preventorium of the Arbeter Ring, Brunoy] Brunoy, May 29, 1948. My dear Tabatshinski, Yesterday I sent you a package of superb photos which it seem to me fully reflect how life appears here in the Vladeck Home. I am interested to know how you will find the records; whether they will make the appropriate impression. How do you find the song, "My Name is Yisrolik"? I understand that one might think that an adult is singing. I am therefore sending you a picture of the girl. She is here in the Vladeck Home, is all of 15 years old, and is the daughter of a teacher who works in the Vladeck Home. I believe that song will make an impression. I await, therefore, a couple of words from you with your opinion about the photos and the records. Best wishes, yours, G. Zaltsman. P.S. I am waiting impatiently for an answer to my private letter to you. Time flies. I must get oriented. I also need to know what to say to the local comrades. G.Z.

[Letter attached to photos 1174-1177, from Alexander of the Friends of Children to Lazar Epstein.] Alexander responds to a request from the JLC for photos of children to be "adopted." He writes that the surviving parents and relatives of the children have not been forthcoming since they are suspicious of the request, having given photos before without the expected results. In any case, the organization is trying to encourage the Jews to be more independent and not expect "mountains of gold" from the "rich American uncles." Regarding the Gurman case, Alexander writes that whatever the JLC can send to help the sick child, who is partially paralyzed, would be of tremendous assistance. The father, a poor tailor, has already amassed a heavy debt to pay for doctors and operations, which he cannot pay. Regarding the photos, Alexander writes as follows: 1. Dinele Heler is the youngest pupil in the school. Her father was taken by the Nazis. Her mother has a little store selling "a bagel here, a herring there." It is a
