This book has very interesting stories!
  It was found at the time of the largest transports of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz at the tracks by a Polish railway employee. We bought this book from the family of this man who worked on the railroad during the war and was repairing tracks. He claimed that the book was found right at the clouse entering the Auschwitz Birkenau camp. In his house it was kept as a "relic" Of course we are not able to verify this information, but there are not too many items of Hungarian origin in Poland, so this whole story is very likely. The more that the family showed us the IDs and documents of this man and in fact during the occupation he worked on the railroad! Book have some description from 1925 but we cant recognize.
