Do You Remember Me?

First Name:

Albert

Last Name:

Reingewirtz

Update:

Albert Reingewirtz came across this photo some time ago when doing an Internet search for his name. The photo was taken after World War II at an orphanage run by the Oeuvre de Protection des Enfants Juifs (OPEJ), then located in Saint-Germain-en-Laye. He did not know at the time that the photos were being taken to show prospective adoptive parents. Had he known this, he says, “I would not have agreed to be photographed because I was waiting for my parents to return.” Only years later did he learn his parents’ fates.
