Michalovce Family Photographs


To be inclusive, we contacted all of the Michalovce researchers with an e-mail address listed in JewishGen (as of 15 January 2009). We asked each person contacted for family photographs or anything else to make the Michalovce shtetl web pages in JewishGen's KehilaLinks more interesting for all current and future researchers. Our sincere appreciation is expressed to all who responded.

Following you will find photographs of Jewish families that once lived in Michalovce. In some cases, the photographs you see survived the Holocaust only because they were mailed to relatives in the United States and elsewhere or they were held by non-Jewish friends in Michalovce during the war and retrieved by survivors after the war.

If you have a family photograph to contribute,

The only information I have on this couple is as follows: My mother says that the woman is the sister of the woman who married my uncle Jeno (Eugen) EINCZIG (pictured elsewhere on this page in a Czech Army uniform), so her maiden name was probably ODZE (my mother's sister-in-law's name was Jolan ODZE).
