About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

Me and my buddies at Camp Kinderland in the summer of 1938. I’m the very handsome bloke holding the bat and looking into the camera. Alas, I’ve changed a bit since then ...

Camp Kinderland

The camp was in upper New York State and the inscription, in Yiddish says simply, ‘Camp Kinderland, August 8, 1938, Bunk #11.’
The camp was run by Jewish members of the Communist Party for kids who otherwise couldn’t afford summer camp. This was during the Great Depression and I was there for two summers. I recall Paul Robeson visiting the camp then.

Great pic ... I guess you are all grown up now. Where was the camp? And what does the inscription say?
