Sil'tse Family Photos

To be inclusive, we wanted to contact all of the Sil'tse researchers with an e-mail address listed in JewishGen (as of 28 August 2011), but there was nobody listed with a connection to Sil'tse. For anyone contacted through referrals, we asked each person for family photographs or anything else to make the Sil'tse 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 photos of families that once lived in Sil'tse. In most cases, the photos you see survived the Holocaust only because they were mailed to relatives in the United States and elsewhere.

If you have any family photos of the Jewish families from Sil'tse, click HERE to contact me.
