Scope and Content
Collection of photographs and documents relating to Adam Pleszowski [donor's husband] and his parents Felicja Klopholcz and Jeshik Pleszowski, further documenting their experiences following the Holocaust and their immigration to Israel and the United States. Shortly after returning to Krakow after liberation, Felicja met a stranger on a street in Krakow who told her that he recognized her from her photographs. The Polish woman had moved into the Klopholcz's apartment and had discovered their prewar pictures which she preserved. She then returned the photo album to Felicja.
