New York real estate magnate Aaron Ziegelman, who created the collection of photographs, letters, Judaica, maps and other materials documenting everyday life in a typical shtetl community in Poland, on Wednesday turned over the collection, which will be permanently housed in the library’s American Folklife Center.
