Tal thought it was time to show the whole Golant group on the forum and I agree. It is not just a nice group with lots of unusual paper. It is also a part of the history of the forum. As far as I know it is the only group united with the help of other forum members. In this thread I ‘ll show what the group consists of in chronological order. But enough with bad English it is time to show the pics.
The first thing, and oldest, is the passport. It was issued in 1933 in Leningrad.
A strange thing that came with the paper work is the “Udarnik” document. It is issued to the “neftezavodstroy” (oil factory worker?) Vladimir Yakovlevch Golant. At first I thought it was to a brother. But it could also be that the one who filled in the document missread/heard Golant’s name. A third explanation could be that the factory was a place that did not like Jewish people. So Golant called himself Vladimir to blend in. But all of this is just speculation of what could be a simple misstake. Anyway the Golant the booklet was issued to had 100% attendance.
More to come...
