Correspondence, 1997-2010

This series contains correspondence and genealogical research, much of which relates to Dorothy Gaffen’s search for information on Yankel Soloducha and his family, who are believed to have perished during the Holocaust. The series includes correspondence with Yad Vashem and a survivor from Holszany, Poland who gave testimony to Yad Vashem, along with photographs and photocopies of postcards from Yankel and his family. A small group of documents pertain to Isaak Soloducha’s application for a visa to enter the United States in 1938, including an affidavit from his aunt’s husband, Mark Freedman, filed on his behalf.
