The Latin-language copy of Pinkas Katz's birth certificate
1931
Museum of the history of Polish Jews
Part of the collection: Memorabilia of Leon Haber
The photograph of the grandmother and her two granddaughters standing, captured from the waist up, in the flat at St. Nicholas Avenue in Lviv where Bronisława Haber lived. Bronisława Haber is depicted in three birth certificates of her sons, Matyasz (b. 1898), Leon (b. 1900) and Aleksander (b. 1903), preserved in the archives, as Brońcia, Bronia, Brandel, née Oper or Opper (at the same time, the surname Wintraub appears, most probably indicating her mother's name). This is a typical situation for Jewish birth certificates: all boys had their father's and mother's surname in their birth certificates, so Brońcia (Brandel) and her husband Mojżesz probably did not have a civil wedding, only a synagogue one, which was not treated by authorities as sufficient to recognize them as spouses and the children as married.
