The papers include three black-and-white photographs, a mixture of original and copies, of Heskel and Miriam Kagan in a toy carriage pulled by a horse. Their mother, Raja Kagan, is also in one of the photos, and she and their father, Berl Kagan, survived the Holocaust in Lithuania. They were living, temporarily, in Rome, Italy, following the war when Heskel (b. 1945) and Miriam (b. 1948) were born. There are also two, black-and-white photographs depicting Berl as part of a group of eight Jewish men, in Rome, Italy.
