Translation: "The Consulate General of Poland in Paris hereby certifies that Mr. Elle Kagan Wichna—born on January 12, 1913, in Hancewicze, son of Chaim and Chana Banczyk—has submitted a request to obtain his birth certificate from Poland. Given the current circumstances, this Consulate is unable to fulfill his request; consequently, Mr. Wichna Kagan is currently unable to produce this civil status document. This certificate has been issued for presentation in connection with a marriage, and to serve as valid proof for all legal purposes." From Google Translate.Collection
