Provenance:
- According to the donor, Mr. Jacob Weissberger, the typed original of this list was created by the Judenrat (Jewish Council) of Mszana Dolna. In 1945, a Pole, who had hidden the list after the most of the local Jews were killed in an "Aktion" on 15 June 1942, gave it to Mr. Weissberger and another survivor when they returned to Mszana Dolna. The two men subsequently emigrated to Israel where they donated the original to the Yad Vashem Archive.
- According to the article "The Mszana Dolna List" (see full citation in 'Language & Other Notes'), a further copy of this list is also available at the Jewish Holocaust Museum in Melbourne, Australia (Tel. 9528-1985, Contact: Ursula Flicker).
