1926 Polish Declarations of Friendship digitized by the Library of Congress #galicia
Vered Dayan
Thank you, Phyllis Kramer, for posting the information about this incredible
collection. I would just like to add that some of the towns (Galician, and perhaps others) are listed under "Miscellaneous", towards the end of the list. For example, I found Sokal and Tartakow in volume #95, so don't get discouraged if you can't find your town in the alphabetical list. There are so many Jewish names! And I say "incredible" because the schoolchildren themselves signed their names on the lists, and most of them with great care - it's clear, easily readable, touching. For some of us it's the most personal evidence that the people behind the signatures ever existed. Vered Dayan Israel

Included are also signatures >from business organizations, religious authorities, and government branches and administrative departments. The Collection of 111 volumes is organized for easy viewing (browsing) with links direct to the digital archive. You can browse the signatures to see who attended schools in your town.
