| Keywords: text Drug store and perfumer's shop of N. L. Temkin. Rakovskaya Street. Rakovskaya Street is located in Minsk, which is currently the capital of Belarus. The Offenbach index has this particular stamp, denoting a book owned or sold by a local sundries store, as being part of the Polish set of stamps. However, Minsk was part of the area annexed by Russia in 1783 with the Second Partition of Poland, so this stamp either dates before 1783, or was put in the Polish section of the reference work by mistake. This book stamp is from a book looted by the Nazis and sorted by Colonel Seymour Pomrenze, one of “the Monuments Men,” at the Offenbach Archival Depot. There are two scrapbooks of archival markings from the books sorted at the Offenbach Depot in the Seymour Pomrenze Collection held by the American Jewish Historical Society (Call number P-933) There is a finding aid for the collection here The digitized scrapbooks are available here and here.
