The "Joint" recently went public with their archive of pictures from activities during and after WW2. As we know, many of our brothers and sisters - including the Rabbeyim of Lubavitch - were helped by the Joint during those difficult times - and before/after as well. This includes Jews of all nationalities. Not much was known about it, since they never went public with their activities, but they have now. And I chose some of the pictures that depict frum life in the DP Camps, as well as places like Vilna and Shanghai during WW2. I searched through many of the pictures and saved what I liked; those pictures of religious Jews that we can relate to, that maybe feature people and places that we heard of growing up - Feldafing, Foerenwald, Poking, Vilna, Kobe, Shanghai, etc. I saved them but unfortunately didn't note where many of them are from, so some have no captions. I apologize for that.

No good pics of R Chatzkel and the Amshinover?
"Pocking, where many Lubavitchers may have met their first Hungarian brethren"
the man in the center is the 'shamasher ruv z"l' lived for many years in wmsb'g i knew him peronal he was a goan olam and a tzadig, used to go to the mountains with him he knew the whole misnayes bal peh!and continue saying it all the time when sitting idle..
Sharmash? Morgenstern?
"Sharmash? Morgenstern?"
hirshel, morgenstern the present ruv, is the son in law of the late sharmasher ruv in the picture
and his name was Reb Naftoli H Henig?
"and his name was Reb Naftoli H Henig?"
Yes. (RJT z"l made him head of the CRC, he was also the bal makrin by tekious shofer for many years by RJT )
iz er geveyzen ah Sakmerer Choosid in der heim owch?
"and his name was Reb Naftoli H Henig?" Hoenig with an 'O'
In the first Kobe picture, is that Rav Leib Bakst z"l sitting at the far left?
Too bad the tzioinim and not the Joint ran the transit camps (maabarot) in Eretz Yisroel. The tzioini memsheles zadon was far too inexperienced to deal with refugees and they could have used some assistance from the Joint.
The Joint would not have cut off payos, forced tayerer Yiddishe kinder into secular schools, and sold food for votes the way Mapai did.
Some points:
1) Your "afileh in lunch" photo - is R' Yossel Wineberg zg"z.
2) And the "osek in Avodas HaTefilah" photo - is R' Y Hendel z"l of Montreal.
3,4) The bochur gathering his tzitzis seems also to be from the Lubavitcher group in Vilna. And the matzo-baking photo seems to feature R' Avrohom Pariz as well.
R' Avrohom Pariz was in the US then...
R' Wineberg is in another pic as well
too many titles too often its a tenuah bichlolus and its all torah utefillah im assuming there is a greater amount of pictures with a greater scope
Extreme left next to the Sharmasher Rov is Rav MM Dubravsky.
You should post link to JDC site
BFA:
the link is there, in the post, where the words are highlighted in blue.
Im'cho Ha'Slicho, a thousand pardons
the yid next to him is harav hagoen r'menachem mendel dubravsky a chabad chosid,
grandfather of r' hayshke dubravsky a"h who was a wonderful chosid and a brilliant chasidisher writer
