26960	Translation - Yiddish	4/14/2013 4:19 PM	Part 2 from 11 Jul 1921, ? Lodz, Poland These letters have just surfaced and could be from the same great uncles who didn't immigrate with their 2 sisters. One sister was my husband's grandmother. In a previous letter one great uncle pleaded for money to be able to immigrate. I would be so grateful if you could translate these letters. We do not know what happened to these great uncles and their families Thank you so much, Corinne	View the post with its 1 response

22639	Translation - Other	5/2/2012 4:37 PM	Hello, this is written on the back of a photo of Gizika/Zizi Litman to her Aunt & Uncle, Herman & Manea Cohn. I think Herman and Manea (my grandparents) were in Chernovitz at the time. From the looks of the photo, Paul was her boyfriend or engaged? Hoping the text says something about that. She died in the Holocaust, at, I think, 16. She was in plays and acting, so he might have been a cast member in some play she was in. I think it's in Romanian. Might not be. Thank you!
