Scope and Content

The Sara Ginaite-Rubinson papers contain photographs and documents relating to her family and the time she served as a partisan fighter in Lithuania during World War II. The photographs consist mainly of her family members, with some depicting Sara during her time fighting in the “Death to Occupiers” partisan group. Also included are documents concerning her relative Zlata Ginaite, photocopies of primary documents she discovered while researching the Lithuanian resistance movement, and correspondence with museums regarding her research. Additionally, in an oversized folder is a copy of the Yiddish newspaper, Letzte Najes. Also in the collection is a satchel carried by Sara Ginaite-Rubinson during her time as a partisan fighter. Some of these materials may be combined into a single collection in the future.
