Germany and elsewhere, ca. 1946-1948. Yiddish, English and German.
Dr. Boris Pliskin (1908-1959), born in Poland, served as a physician during World War II and was a member of the underground in the Janowska camp in Lviv.

He headed the health services of the JOINT in western Germany and was a member of the Central Committee of the Liberated Jews in the American Occupation Zone, within whose framework he founded and coordinated the "Center for Physical Education" in the DP camps. In addition, he chaired the "HaPoel" center in Germany and the "Alliance of Gymnastics and Sports Associations". In 1949, he immigrated to Israel and served as the medical director of the JOINT-Malben in Israel.

A broadside issued by the "The Union of Rabbis in Austria A.Z. [American Zone], by the Central Jewish Committee". Handwritten and mimeographed. Stamped with the official stamp of the Union. Salzburg, the eve of Rosh Chodesh Sivan, 1947.
A call by the Union of Rabbis in Austria, announcing the 20th of Sivan as a "day of repentance, prayer and charity and a fast until 13:30 by saying Selichot for the 20th of Sivan after the morning prayer, A.M. [Avinu Malkeinu] and Psalms" (Hebrew). The broadside announces the 20th of Sivan as the Yahrzeit for those of She'erit Hapletah whose relatives' death dates are unknown. The broadside is stamped with the official stamp of the "Union of Rabbis in central Austria – in Salzburg".
At the end of World War II, there was a disagreement among European rabbis as to whether to announce a special day to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Among those objecting to the idea were the Rebbes of Gur and Belz, Rabbi Yitzchok Zev Halevi Soloveitchik and the Chazon Ish, who claimed that in our generation it is not permitted to announce a new permanent fast. The rabbis of Hungary and Austria announced the 20th of Sivan as a day of fast, claiming that this day had traditionally been a day of fasting among the Jews of Poland, commemorating the riots of 1648.
