[Judy Shappee]

There is a Jewish historical society that includes Essex County.
Perhaps someone from there could be of help:

The Jewish Historical Society of Metrowest, located at 901 Route 10
East, Whippany, NJ 07981-1156, has information about Jewish communities
in Essex, Sussex and Morris Counties. Contact: Jill Hershorin, Archivist
at 973-929-2995 or JHershorin at JHSMW.org.

In a nutshell:  The requester's father is the only survivor from a
large family.  After being liberated from Mauthausen, he went back to
Romania and dug up the photographs his father had buried shortly
before deportation. On the back of one of the photos is a street
address in Orange, NJ, but no names.  The requester went to the
address two years ago, but the current residents don't know who the
previous residents were.

My patron assumes the people in the photograph are his relatives, and
he would like to find them before his father passes away.
