1931
Austrian National Team
Baruch Kern
Austria
4? cards
The photocards are unnumbered, with the handwritten surname of each player on blank back.
Each card is embossed with the name of the studio: B. Kern (Wien XII, Hauptstr. 65). Baruch Kern owned the "Fotoatelier-Baruch Kern" from March 3, 1920 to 1938 as a registered photographer in Vienna's 12th district, Meidlinger Hauptstraße 65. He was a well-known sports photographer in Vienna and mainly documented Viennese football in the 1920s and 30s. His studio was deregistered on January 1, 1939 by the Nazis, as he was of Jewish descent. He was deported to the Sobibor concentration camp on June 14, 1942 and murdered.
