So much of the information uncovered and discovered about my great-grandfather’s art and life comes to me from people who so very kindly help me out. These, “friends of the Moshe Rynecki project,” as I’ve taken to calling them, help to move my project forward. An enormous thank you to ALL who have helped in so many ways including making finds, doing research, offering translations, suggesting useful websites, and connecting me to more people!
Today’s post is made possible by a man in Poland (thank you, Piotr Nazaruk!) who researched a database on Polona.pl (the Polish National Library) and found these articles that mention my great-grandfather. Below is a listing of the articles in the years they were published, a brief sentence if they contain more than just my great-grandfather’s name [I’ve put his name in bold], and photos of all the clippings.
I sometimes get asked the following: (1) How famous was your great-grandfather? and (2) Who were his contemporaries? Newspaper clippings like these that begin to shed light on these questions.
