Three photographs of the Children's Home in Avigliana, Italy – an institution for training children of "She'erit Hapletah" before their immigration to Palestine. [Avigliana, 1947].
Two of the photographs document lessons at the school of the Children's Home; on their verso are printed English information notes issued by the JDC, both dated 4.4.1947, describing the support the organization gave to the Children's Home in Avigliana and to "She'erit Hapletah" in the DP camps. The third photograph, depicting, presumably, three of the members of the staff of the Children's Home, does not bear an information note.
The Children's Home in the city of Avigliana adjacent to Torino, Italy was founded by the "HaShomer Hatza'ir" organization and was active during the years 1946-1948. The institution professionally trained children of "She'erit Hapletah" before their immigration to Palestine. The school of the Children's Home gave Hebrew lessons as well as occupational courses such as carpentry, welding and sewing.
3 photographs, 25.5X20.5 cm. Good condition. A few stains. Minor blemishes and creases. Tears along the edges of one of the photographs, including an open tear (in the corner) and a tear reinforced with tape.

A broadside issued by the "The Union of Rabbis in Austria A.Z. [American Zone], by the Central Jewish Committee". Handwritten and mimeographed. Stamped with the official stamp of the Union. Salzburg, the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan, 1947.
A call by the Union of Rabbis in Austria, announcing the 20th of Sivan as a "day of repentance, prayer and charity and a fast until 13:30 by saying Selichot for the 20th of Sivan after the morning prayer, A.M. [Avinu Malkeinu] and Psalms" (Hebrew). The broadside announces the 20th of Sivan as the Yahrzeit for those of She'erit Hapletah whose relatives' death dates are unknown. The broadside is stamped with the official stamp of the "Union of Rabbis in central Austria – in Salzburg".
At the end of World War II, there was a disagreement among European rabbis as to whether to announce a special day to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Among those objecting to the idea were the Rebbes of Gur and Belz, Rabbi Yitzchok Zev Halevi Soloveitchik and the Chazon Ish, who claimed that in our generation it is not permitted to announce a new permanent fast. The rabbis of Hungary and Austria announced the 20th of Sivan as a day of fast, claiming that this day had traditionally been a day of fasting among the Jews of Poland, commemorating the riots of 1648.
[1] leaf, approx. 21X30 cm. Good condition. Fold lines and minor creases. Stains (the margins are slightly darkened). Several tears to edges.
