Thanks to brisk sales and related "top-ups" by members, along with direct cash donations to the project - all noted in our Fall-2021 Update elsewhere - we were able to make our first purchase of about $100 of Holocaust-themed stamps, covers, and maximum-cards; and a few copies of the special Anne Frank magazine (see scan below).

I've attached a link to a truncated "work-in-progress" version of one of the albums in the series that will be displayed in schools, community groups, etc in our anticipated live-launch around 27 January 2022 to coincide with International Holocaust Remembrance Day. These pages show scans of stamps, etc that we have purchased and - as each page is completed - the actual stamps will be mounted.

I have one major source who has offered to supply any stamps needed at a substantial discount to what I've found on eBay. I will be buying another $100 worth there every couple weeks then doing the research and adding the text surrounding the stamps. I'll put up more links as I go so you can see the progress. I figure this will cost over $1,500 (including supplies for the albums) by the time I am substantially done, so I need to get busy selling some more stamps. Luckily, I still have tons left from my original "The Hoard" purchased 5-6 years ago! Another announcement to come shortly...




Thanks for all the support, Dave.
