The papers include three black-and-white photographs, a mixture of original and copies, of Heskel and Miriam Kagan in a toy carriage pulled by a horse. Their mother, Raja Kagan, is also in one of the photos, and she and their father, Berl Kagan, survived the Holocaust in Lithuania. They were living, temporarily, in Rome, Italy, following the war when Heskel (b. 1945) and Miriam (b. 1948) were born. There are also two, black-and-white photographs depicting Berl as part of a group of eight Jewish men, in Rome, Italy.

Colorful, child-sized, toy horse and cart with pedals used by Heskel and Miriam Kagan (later Lieber) in Rome, Italy, where their parents, Berl and Raja settled, temporarily, after surviving the Holocaust in Lithuania. The cart was used by Heskel and Miriam in Italy and then, when the family immigrated to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1950, aboard the USS Hersey, they brought it with them.
