Its innovative website, jwa.org, provides free access to a wide range of resources on American Jewish women, past and present, celebrated and unknown.

    Wow. Was the text in quotes from inside the passport, or was is it from the same collection?
  • Stadtkatze said:
    FYI: The handwritten text below the textfield says: "Dringlichkeitsbescheinigung über 50 km ausgestellt", "Certification of urgency issued for 50 kilometres".

    Jen SharpThe text is from speaking with Ms. Rome at an event where collected materials for this collection. The Road Shows captured digital copies of these fabulous images along with the stories behind them. - A, former JWA Digital Archivist
