- Accession consists of correspondence and documents in Russian and Yiddish. One letter was written in Havana, Cuba. There is what appears to be a fundraising ticket for the Warsaw Ghetto, and several copies of memorial tree planting certificates in Palestine. The certificates were created by Karen Kaymeth of Israel for tree planting donations in memory of victims of the Nazis regime in the Polish Martyrs Forest. All donation certificates were issued to Moshe Salsberg in memory of the following victims: Leon Rothblatt, Yisroel Shlomo Salsberg, Anna Salsberg, Yedidiah Salsberg, Faygie Salsberg and Shimon Salsbeg The photographs were taken in diverse locations including concentration camps, war memorials, concert halls, and bomb-damaged cities.
