This gallery is filled with photographs, immigration documents, passports, letters and books, a ketuvah and more. We learn so much about our family stories from these artifacts, if we read between the lines. We learned about how much a wedding cost in 1933, we learned about the ages of great grandparents when they immigrated, and we read actual notes taken by our ancestors. We learned about some of the positive and negative situations they went through.
The photographs showed us what kind of life our ancestors lived, the clothing that our relatives wore and some of activities they enjoyed.
