This is a new sub-gallery but there is also a Sub Gallery 5 under construction. So many pictures are on the website that it is very slow and takes a long time to upload anything new, especially the Holocaust pages. So this Sub Gallery with will have Holocaust related photos obtained since the other three sub galleries. It will also make it much easier to add information about photos where that is possible. Numbers are those of photos in the overall Robert Dawson Romani Holocaust Collection.
