- B&W, white border. Outdoors. Three people pose in front of a clearing which has stones placed on the grass to form words. On right is Esther Wolloch, a young woman with blond hair, wearing a floral dress with a light jacket draped over her shoulders. On left is her mother's older sister Rachel, a woman wearing a double-breasted coat. In front is Rachel's son Kalman, a boy with cropped hair. Esther has her hand on the boy's shoulder. All three are holding identical objects, possibly cylinders in bags or netting. Behind the clearing is forest.

- 1 page, double-sided. Folded once horizontally and once vertically. Green fiscal stamp with value of 30 groszy affixed at top right corner. Document is a school report issued to David Honig from a private Jewish trade high school in Kraków, Poland for the 1935-36 school year. On recto, document is printed on school letterhead, with personal information about the student beneath it, followed by a printed list of subjects within a rectangular border. One-word assessments are handwritten to the right of each subject. On verso, report is signed by school officials. Grading legend at bottom. Narrative: School report was issued to donor's husband, David Honig. David was born in Mielec, a shtetl near Krakow, Poland. His parents were Psachie and Miriam Honig, and he had a sister named Helen. David studied business at a private Jewish trade school in Kraków from 14 to 17 years old. At 17, upon graduating, he returned to Mielec to work at his family's flour mill. When the Russian army invaded their region in 1940, David was going to be drafted into the army. His mother told the soldiers that David had typhus; when they come to the Honig home, she bandaged his head and put red water on it to appear that he was bleeding. David wasn't drafted. With his uncle and seven other men, David was smuggled to Romania with the help of a guide. David brought along his tie and his school report. Along the way the group had to cross a river and they all had to hold their belongings above their heads to protect them from the water. This is how David was able to salvage his tie and school report. David’s parents and sister were saved by a Polish Gentile by the name of W?adys?aw Dobrowolski who used to be a customer at their mill. He hid them throughout the war; he is recognized as a Righteous Among the Nations. The Honigs were the only family from their shtetl to survive intact.

Narrative: Tie belonged to donor's husband, David Honig. David was born in Mielec, a shtetl near Krakow, Poland. His parents were Psachie and Miriam Honig, and he had a sister named Helen. David studied business at a private Jewish trade school in Kraków from 14 to 17 years old. At 17, upon graduating, he bought the tie in Krakow and then returned to Mielec to work at his family's flour mill. When the Russian army invaded their region in 1940, David was going to be drafted into the army.

Along the way the group had to cross a river and they all had to hold their belongings above their heads to protect them from the water. This is how David was able to salvage his tie and school report. David was always proud of his tie; he used to show it to people. It was his first adult purchase and meant a lot to him. David’s parents and sister were saved by a Polish Gentile by the name of W?adys?aw Dobrowolski who used to be a customer at their mill. He hid them throughout the war; he is recognized as a Righteous Among the Nations. The Honigs were the only family from their shtetl to survive intact.
