We've collected a number of photographs of Krosno and we hope you enjoy viewing them. If you have one that's especially pertinent, please feel free to send it along (either as a photo or in jpeg format). Please email Phyllis Kramer.
The photographs below are various views of Krosno, along with a group of young Krosno women. Alexander White identified them as (left to right): Mania Feuerlicht , Mania White (Alex's sister) , Rachel Dym (her children live in Israel today), Ms. Kleiner, the Hebrew teacher, who was from Kielce, cousin Ryfkah Platner, Feiga Hemerling the daughter of Kiva H, the Dayan of Krosno. And Lusia Wils living in Cholon
The 1939 photograph below on the right, also donated by Alexander White, is the Rabbi of Krosno, Schmuel Fuehrer.
Next, Alexander sent these photographs of the houses in Krosno (he said that nearly all the houses were Jewish) and the time his father (who was from Dabrowa) was the pupil of the famous Rabbi Weidenfeld.
We would really like to reproduce photos of all the synagogues in the Krosno Area. The only picture we were able to find, is one in the neighboring town of Jaslo.
Last we present these wonderful photographs which were donated by Ruben Weiser of Buenos Aires.
Ruben's great grandfather, Itzjak Elovitz (a descendent of Rabbi Elimelej of Lizensjk) was born in Zborov, Slovakia, and moved early in life to Krosno. There Itzjak married Hana Pessel, who was born in Korczyna.
