Archival History

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Acquisition

Mrs. Shulamith Shafer donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Mar. 24, 2004.

Scope and Content

Contains one photograph of two young boys, aged approximately nine and four years old. The photograph, taken in Kaunas, Lithuania, was given to the parents of the Shulamith Shafer [donor], Paul and Riva Singal Huz, by the uncle of the boys in the Santa Maria displaced persons camp. The uncle, remembered only as "Leibel," gave the photograph to the Huzes hoping that they could locate the boys in the United States.
