Over 50 years ago, a tattered 71st infantry division arrived in Northern Austria at Gunskirchen. This site records what they found there as produced at the timeby staff of the liberators themselves. This material comes verbatim from a bookletproduced by the U.S. Army.

There is no detailed publication information on the booklet – not even a date – except for a small imprint on the bottom of the back cover. This reads:

E. Keiser KG., Druckerei u. Verlag, Augsburg

"The Jewish colony in Manila was a mixture of German Jews who hailed largely from Breslau and Frankfurt, a variety of other European Jews from Eastern Europe mainly, a number of Sephards from Lebanon, Syria and Iraq and us."
