Ritual goblets and mugs in the collection of the Polin Museum
c. 1910
Museum of the history of Polish Jews
Part of the collection: Photographs from the collection of Halina Kamińska (Mamelok) née Baruch
A fragment of a cropped studio photo of two children, probably Halina and Maria Baruch, with a letter, faded and hence illegible, but – as it seems – handwritten by their mother, Diana Baruch. Visible postmark with the date: 29.11.18 […]. Into this black-and-white photo was glued another one, cut-out, in sepia, presenting a child. Perhaps it is a portrait, added years later, of Kazimierz Baruch, much younger than the sisters? On the back, there are visible Russian postcard prints (fragment of the emblem) and a fragment of the address written with a pen: 'Mr. Broni [...]' and in Russian: 'Warszawa'; the addressee was Bronisław (Boruch) Koral (b. 1856 or 1857; date of death unknown; he was a lawyer mentioned as a Warsaw attorney in materials including trade magazines from the late 1920s and early 1930s). Koral is Baruchowa's brother-in-law, husband of her sister Ewa (see MPOLIN-A25.1.4).
