Acquisition
The articles were collected by Janette Singer, former wife of Sam Streitman, and were donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives in Apr. 1992 along with a photograph of two aunts of the donor. The donation was made via Mrs. Brenda Senders.
Scope and Content
Consists of three articles from the "Forward" newspaper (New York), circa 1947, written by Sam Streitman. The articles relate to the fifth anniversary of the destruction of the Jewish community in "Ostrowce," Poland (apparently a reference to Ostrowiec). Also included is a photograph (black-and-white with partial coloring added) of Chawa and Frieda Borensztein, sisters of the donor's father. Both women perished at Treblinka, as did other members of the donor's family. On the reverse side of the photo is the annotation "1913."
