This photo postcard of men and boys of
Bielsk-Podliask was taken in Poland in 1931, prior to WWII. The
boy in the top row on the left with the star above his head is
Ephraim Schneider (a/k/a Szneider). His family, and most of the
people in this photograph, perished. Ephraim, who was one of the
first Zionists, went from Poland to Palestine to New York, where
he lived until a ripe old age.
