Danny
Dancig has sent us photos from his sister Bee Joffin's collection.
Bee (Brocha) was born in Mir and left with her parents and grandmother
in 1929.
Mir
Dramatic Society
This
photo of the Dramatic Society of Mir. It shows members
of the
society
at the top with stage scenery behind them. Dovid Dancig, is
third from the left in front, next to him is
Mendel Tabatznik and at the end on the right is Chaiah Belsky.
(Dovid Dancig and Chaiah Belsky later married and
became the parents of Bee and Danny.)
Five
good friends are saying goodbye.
The man in the middle is
leaving Mir. Dovid Dancig is the second from the right, so
this photo must have been taken sometime before the Dancig
family left in 1929.

is on the right.)

Folkshul
in Mir
Morris
Ziskind, a friend of the Dancig family, visited Mir while on a
trip from South Africa to his family's shtetl in 1937-38. He brought
back this photo of the children and teachers in the Folkshul in
Mir.
The
back of the Folkshul photo. It says "Yiddische Folk-Shul in
Mir"
An
outdoor gathering of townspeople.
Danny Dancig labeled
this photo "Rally".
It might be Mir or some nearby town.
