Debrecen Family Photographs


To be inclusive, we contacted all of the Debrecen researchers with an e-mail address listed in JewishGen (as of 5 October 2009). We asked each person contacted for family photographs or anything else to make the Debrecen shtetl web pages in JewishGen's KehilaLinks more interesting for all current and future researchers. Our sincere appreciation is expressed to all who responded.

Below, you will find photographs of families that once lived in Debrecen. In most cases, the photographs you see survived the Holocaust only because they were mailed to relatives in the United States and elsewhere.

If you have a family photograph to contribute,
