I just found this one today such a fantastic story

..." Eleven years ago, in the attic of a tenement house in the town of Debica, more than 1,000 damaged glass negative plates were discovered. Most of them depicted expressive portraits of anonymous individuals who lived in the neighborhood during the 20s and 30s..." - more here.

Very poignant set of images especially those taken of the Jewish community who probably had no idea of what was to come...
