Note to the ring presented to the people of Stalingrad by Sidney Kramer, the member of the American youth delegation. Stalingrad

The text written in blue ink on one side of a page torn out of a notebook reads [translation]: “My wife gave me this ring the day I joined the United States Army in 1942. I wish to gift this ring to the people of Stalingrad to remind that many young Americans live today thanks to the sacrifices made by the defenders of Stalingrad. / Sidney Kramer / September 22, 1951”.
