Hi guys and gals. I need some help with some info about an old company in NY in 1905. I've got some great help from AW user's in the past, and I hope you can come thru again.
I have some invoices dated 1905 from the Monopol Tobacco Works in NY. I have found out that this is a tobacco brand from Europe, and that one of their factories was used as a Nazi concentration camp during WWII.
Can anyone provide me with any history or info about the place in NY? As soon as I figure out how, I'll post a picture of the invoice. Maybe that will help some.
Thanks in advance for your help.

honaker -- this is a prime candidate for a Google Search!
Go to http://www.google.com and enter - Monopol Tobacco Works - in the search box. You'll find tons of info. I've found Google to be the absolute best search engine when looking for non-commercial information!

It gave me a lot of links to the Monopol Tobacco companies in Europe, and some info about the use of the facility as a concentration camp.
I didn't see anything really useful about the company in NY. As soon as I find an e-mail address, I may just send a letter to the company there. I've done this in the past several times (same type of thing, researching old letters and such ) without much luck. Either the person replying doesn't know anything, is unwilling to find out, or they just don't reply at all.
