Research findings

No record remains identifying the Cohen family from whom the museum acquired these commemorative plates and why they parted with them.

The museum acquired these two commemorative plates in July 1942, purchasing them from a Cohen family of whom no initials or address was recorded. No further information exists in the museum regarding the sale price or reason for the sale. The museum has tried to trace the family's identity, without success.
