A reader sent us this vintage photograph depicting a group of Chabad Chassidim from Russia. Can you identify anyone in the photo (correct answers in the extended article), and when and where the photo was taken?

    Number 11 is incorrectly labeled.
    It’s not Baila Pruss. It’s Sara Pruss – Dubinsky

    WHATS THE QUESTION IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE PEOPLE IN THE PICTURE ?? IT IS OBVIOUS, UNDER THE PICTURE IS A LIST WITH ALL THE NAMES AND IT IS NUMBERED!!

  • location

    The Frierdiker Rebbe wanted pictures of the chasidim (i think of those that got out of russia) chances are this pic was taken in a DP camp or in France after the war.
