- b&w, couple standing next to each other, looking in the same direction. They are the donor's paternal uncle and his wife. Narrative: In the 1920’s Serge and Sophie Philipson (nee Orbach) left Berlin for Paris due to rising antisemitism. On July 15, 1930 their daughter Rachel was born. Serge, Sophie and Rachel were Polish citizen, they never got either the German or the French citizenship. In Paris, Serge worked for Les Modes Modernes, the hat factory of his brother-in-law, Henri. When an opportunity to expand the business in Ireland arose, Serge moved to Galway. The new factory opened in July 1938. In August 1939, Sophie, Rachel, and 4 other family members (Rachel’s cousin Stéphane, his maternal grandmother Néné, Serge’s sister Esther and Serge’s sister-in-law Choura) left for Cabourg, in Normandy. After the winter 1939-1940 it became difficult to communicate with Ireland but Rachel and Sophie could still send and receive letter from Serge. At the end of winter 1940, the group moved to Néris and in July 1940, after the occupation of France by Germany, they settled in the zone libre in the village of Cauterets, on the border with Spain. They were reunited with Robert, Serge’s brother. In August 1942, 4 family members (Sophie’s sister Ella and her husband Ernest, their daughter Ruth, Serge’s siblings Robert and Esther) were arrested by local police and deported. They were not seen again. At the beginning of 1943, Sophie, her mother Augusta and Rachel moved to Maubourguet. In April 1943, they moved to Cannes in Hotel Victoria with Henri, Stéphane and Néné. Henri, Sophie and Augusta went into hiding together while cousins Stéphane and Rachel were taken care of by Néné and returned to Maubourguet. In January 1944, Henri, Sophie and Augusta were denounced and arrested. They were transferred to Marseille before being sent by train to Drancy transit camp from where they were deported. It is believed they were killed in a Polish killing centre. In 1944, Rachel moved from one place to another – under a non-Jewish identity - and continued to correspond with her father. In June 1945, she reunited with her father Ireland. They had not seen each other for 6 years. In 1951, Rachel got married. In 1954, she immigrated to Montreal.

- Notes
- Warrant Officer Abram Arbour of Winnipeg, Manitoba, was killed in action at Falaise. He was awarded the Military Cross, according to a Department of National Defence release (P.N. 51-45) of February 6, 1945. The citation accompanying the award read: "During the night of August 7, 1944, an infantry regiment attacked and captured the town of Fonteney-le-Marmion. On consolidation one of the companies was allotted the defence of the northern section of the town in the vicinity of battalion headquarters. During the early hours of the morning, August 8, the enemy shelled and mortared the town very heavily. The company commander was wounded and C.S.M. Arbour immediately took over command of the company and completed reorganization of the defence position. At approximately 8 a.m. an enemy counterattack in some strength moved against the company position. This attack was pinned down by small-arms fire, and C.S.M. Arbour personally formed and led a counterattack force to mop up the enemy. With utter disregard for personal danger and with absolute confidence he formed a composite force. Under covering fire from 11 and 12 platoons, they assaulted and killed or captured the enemy force which threatened his company position. C.S.M. Arbour, by his speed in handling a difficult situation, and his superb courage, was directly responsible for the battalion holding and consolidating the objective.” He enlisted with the Canadian Army on September 11, 1939, and went overseas on Aug. 24, 1940. He took part in the fighting at Caen and Dieppe.

- Rectangular armband with three snaps. It served as identification for a forced labourer. This armband was given in Drancy internment camp to a hungarian Jew named Pal Link. Narrative: This armband belonged to Pal Link, the donor's father. In 1940, Pal was away from his home and family in Budapest for business and found himself stuck in France when the Germans invaded the country. He fled to Normandy hoping to escape to England but was unsuccessful. With false papers given to him by a local policeman, he managed to reach Nice in the South of France. Once the free zone was invaded, Pal went into hiding in the Alps but was denounced and deported to the Drancy internment camp. On the way to the camp, a soldier advised him to lie about his employment. Pal had a business exporting agricultural products but declared he was a stoker, and was put to work as such. This is how he survived from the end of 1943 to the summer of 1944 when the last inmates were let go in exchange for German soldiers. Pal survived the Holocaust and immigrated to Montreal where his son, Andre was living.

- 110 pages. Hardcover, cardboard bound with glue and fabric. Cover is brown leather with a crocodile-skin pattern and a silver key-clasp; the edges and corners are rounded and the page edges are gilded; the binding fabric is red. Inside covers have a printed abstract pattern with multi-coloured smears of paint along the verticle axis. Interior pages are beige; primarily used as an autograph book. Autographs are found throughout in blue, black, green and purple inks, or in pencil. Drawings have been done in ink or pencil. One b&w photograph is attached to its own page: shows a woman in a dress, crouching outside on the ground, on a matt, with one arm extended as if to crawl, there is surrounding greenery with a mountain in the background. 2 pages of pressed flowers are found in the book: the first has only a 4-leaf clover; the second is filled with wildflowers, with stalks of wheat in the center. Many pages of the book are still blank. Book belonged to German Jewish woman named Hanna Landé. Narrative: Autographs, well-wishes and drawings to Hanna Landé. Written before and during her internment in Gurs internment camp. Earliest autograph dates from 1938. Hanna was in Paris in 1939, and in Villerbon in Dec. 1939. From July 1940 to June 1943, she was interned at Gurs. Gurs was an internment camp in south-western France along the Spanish border; it was originally used by the French to intern prisoners from the Spanish Civil War. On May 21, 1940, the Vichy government incarcerated German and other Axis citizens, as well as sympathizers at the camp, adding them to the existing Spanish population. When the armistice was signed with Germany, the Vichy government liberated the prisoners and burned the records (August to October 1940). The Nazis took over the camp in October 1940, filling it with Jews from other camps, Spaniards, and other "undesirables". There were numerous escapes from the camp (755 recorded) and it was only moderately secure, without the gun towers and a barbed wire fence only a few feet high. As of August 6, 1942, the camp's Jews were deported, usually to Drancy and from there on to Auschwitz.
