RARE 1945 Poland Jewish Holocaust Survivors Sweden Zionist Refugee Photo Album
This vintage spiral-bound photo album from 1945-1946 documents a Polish-Jewish refugee community in Sweden after World War II. It contains approximately 100 original black and white silver gelatin prints. A significant portion of the album focuses on an organized Zionist group. Multiple photographs capture members with Zionist Flags, engaged in group activities, and posing with prominent Hebrew banners. Legible Hebrew inscriptions on these banners explicitly state "Pelugat HaChalutz" (Pioneer Company) and reference "Keren Kayemet LeYisrael" (Jewish National Fund). Handwritten Polish annotations identify several specific locations in Sweden, including Aneboda (noted as a quarantine center in May 1945), Holsby-Brunn, Tyringe, and Furudal. These inscriptions also provide specific dates and context, such as a reference to the German capitulation on May 8, 1945. The photographs are mounted on aged tan paper leaves housed within a red textured faux-leather cover.for condition see pictures
