This photo was taken in April 1943 at 'Lenngries, Upper Bavaria, Germany" as written on the reverse side.

The person on the photo is Anton Pilgeri (Pilger)? at the end of 1945 he was in captivity in Yaroslavl (Soviet Union) and presented this photo to one local boy, who recalls:
"In Yaroslavl, German prisoners lived in a big unfinished house, at the corner of the today's Nekrasov street and Lenin Avenue. Among the other prisoners Anton worked at the warehouses that was on Bolshaya Octyabrskaya (October) street. Alexander and his friends often exchanged with prisoners various trinkets (badges, etc.) for food and cigarettes. How exactly Alexander met Anton, he does not remember, but he, Anton, stood out from the others, because, in the words of Alexander, was a "goner", looked bad, though like all other prisoners was always dressed neatly and cleanly. On the exchange he had practically nothing and Alexander began to feed him just for sake. One day, he invited Anton to his house. Prisoners in Yaroslavl walked through the city without convoy and Anton, from time to time visited Alexander. He came into the house, sat down by the stove and basked. Alexander's mother always gave him something to eat, although the family lived rather poorly. Sure, because of the language barrier there was not so much communication. As a sign of gratitude for his kindness Anton presented this picture to Alexander.
At the end of 1945 or early 1946 Alexander walked past the house where the prisoners lived and wanted to convey some products to Anton, but he was there no more. According to the other prisoners, he was sent somewhere, and it was unclear whether he was sent home, or just transferred to another camp. Since then, nothing was known about him. "

Good day,

In the passenger manifest of those , who arrived to New York from Paris on 7 December 1948 there is one Valentina BOVIANOVSKY, female, 39 years, Nansen passport holder.
No other record in Ancestry or any other database that I have searched.
There is no such family name Bovianovsky (Bovianovska) in Russia, Ukraine or Poland. Google return no result for this family at all.

I am almost sure, that the name as well as Nansen passport were bogus.
But are there any other document originated during the entry to the USA besides this passenger manifest where arrived person was recorded?

Thanks
Mike
