Large collection of paper cards with names of the deceased and the dates of their death, from the archive of the burial society of Miskolc, 1832-1944. The cards bear hundreds of handwritten names, death dates and other family details. Some of the cards are from the 1940s (after the outbreak of WWII), until close to the German invasion of Miskolc. The inscription "Chevra Kadisa Miskolcz" is stamped on the verso of some cards. The cards include calling cards, fragments of postcards and of other leaves, reused for recording the deceased. Some of them are written on printed entry tickets to a dinner of the Talmud Torah by the "founders and directors of the local Machzikei HaDat society". 267 paper cards. Average size: 9X6 cm. Good-fair condition.
