The US Library of Congress has completed the digitization and has published
online images of the 1926 declarations of friendship between Poland and the US,
"signed" by more than 5 million Polish people, the vast majority of them
students of primary and secondary schools. Included are also signatures from
business organizations, religious authorities, and government branches and
administrative departments,

The Collection of 111 volumes is organized for easy viewing (browsing) with
links direct to the digital archive.

You can browse the signatures to see who attended schools in your town.
To access go to https://www.loc.gov/collections/polish-declarations/

Thank you, Phyllis Kramer, for posting the information about this incredible
collection. I would just like to add that some of the towns (Galician, and
perhaps others) are listed under "Miscellaneous", towards the end of the
list.

For example, I found Sokal and Tartakow in volume #95, so don't get discouraged
if you can't find your town in the alphabetical list. There are so many Jewish
names! And I say "incredible" because the schoolchildren themselves signed
their names on the lists, and most of them with great care - it's clear, easily
readable, touching. For some of us it's the most personal evidence that the
people behind the signatures ever existed.
