The papers consist of two certificates and two letters of recommendation issued to Jacob Hennenberg [donor] relating to his experiences as a displaced person after World War II. Two of the certificates have photos of the donor attached. The collection also includes an advertisement sign for the Jakob Haberfeld spirit refinery and liquor factory, and other documents related to his experiences. Some of these materials may be combined into a single collection in the future.
