8/29/2021 12:23 PM Confirm that writing on top would transliterate to V. Lev
Translate writing at bottom.(The main request)

As far as I can tell most of the words are pre-printed and thus not specific to this photo.

If there is something specific to this photo, please translate. Akkerman is where members of my grandfather's family lived.

Thank you. 		View the post with its 1 response

8/25/2021 1:23 PM This is a cemetery notice related to my maternal great-grandfather who died in Buchenwald concentration camp. I have always known his name to be "Itzig Leib Biber" and I am eager to know what this letter means, especially the sentence that has the name "Kussner" in it:

"Es wird h.a. bestatigt, dass die Urne des in Buchenwald am 16. April 1940 verstorbenen Herrn Kussner reckte Biber Itzig Leib, 61 Jahre alt, am 24. Mai 1940 auf dem Zentralfriedhof, IV"

Any help understanding what this sentence means is greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,

I would highly appreciate a translation from Polish for the attached text which I found on the back of an old photograph in my grandmother's photo album. I'm trying to figure out who wrote it and who is in the picture.

Many thanks

I would highly appreciate a translation from Russian for the birth record of Kagan Estera (#87).
Any information about parents and exact place of birth would be useful.
