The Nazis occupied Yelisavetgrod in August of 1941, at the end of the following month the Jews of the city were taken to anti-tank ditches outside of the city and massacred. This book stamp – belonging to Yaakov Yehusha Shulman – is testament to one of the many Jews who had lived in Yelisavetgrod. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
