1218	Translation - Polish	10/15/2003	These inscriptions are on the backs of photos sent from Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki, Poland to relatives in New York probably in the late 1930's. The two girls were sisters, whose parents and siblings still lived in Poland, although their aunts and uncles had all come to the US decades earlier. I believe they were sent to my grandmother, their aunt, Gussie (Gela Malka) Simon.	View the post, there are no responses
1219	Translation - Yiddish	10/15/2003	This is the inscription on the back of a postcard photo, which may have come from France. It shows a man with his small daughter, possibly from the 1920's (based on the girl's dress). Several of my relatives immigrated to the US via Le Havre, France, so it's possible that the photo of these people was taken there as well.	View the post, there are no responses
1220	Do you recognize?	10/15/2003	Comparing the writing on the five lines, I suspect that the fourth line says (in error) "don't Austria" while intending to say "don't know." Does anyone see this differently?	View the post, there are no responses
