Sidney Kirschner
Letter to Sala Garncarz, in transliterated Yiddish, New York, April 23, 1946
NYPL, Dorot Jewish Division, Sala Garncarz Kischner Collection

Sidney’s letter is filled with the excitement of a new husband awaiting the arrival of his bride in America. He misses her enormously and has shown all of the family her photograph. He talks about having a big religious wedding in America, and tells her not to worry about the transatlantic crossing.
