- Shoe brush made of red-brown stained wood with rounded edges and concave back. Black bristles are bordered by beige bristles. A hidden compartment is revealed by sliding the back away from the part that holds the bristles. Narrative: Chava Favor was born on March 22, 1920 to Albert Fleischer and Juliana Beck. She was sent to Szeged ghetto (Hungary) in early 1944, where she received this brush from a Hungarian carpenter. In the summer of 1944, she used the brush to smuggle a small diamond brooch and money (the equivalent of $500) onto a train to a sub-camp of Mauthausen. She was eventually liberated from Strasshoff concentration camp (Austria) by the Soviet Army. After living in Prague (Czechoslovakia), Chava used the brush to smuggle $3,000 into Israel in 1949. She immigrated to Canada in 1952.

- Heart-shaped autograph book made of folded paper, with purple fabric cover embroidered with the letter F in red thread. Pages are glued together with glue made from bread starch. The booklet contains 8 folded paper pages with messages written by prisoners. There are 21 different messages inside the booklet including 2 which are not signed. 19 different names appear. 4 messages are dated 1944-12-12 and one is dated 1945-01-26. Narrative: Booklet was given to Fania Landau on her 20th birthday by 19 co-workers in the Union ammunition factory in Auschwitz. Made in secret with materials stolen or found in the camp, the heart brings together messages of hope and birthday wishes. It represents the solidarity between these women, but also their courage and strength to withstand their horrific situation. Again, at great peril, they also presented a “cake” to Fania, made of hidden bread and decorated with margarine, on December 12, 1944.

The right panel has a b&w portrait at t.l. and fingerprints at t.r..

Birks, oldest son of Henry Birks used to buy jewelry and silver from the factory owned by Frank Cahn’s grandparents. The two families had known each other from before World War I. Frank’s grandmother asked Mr Birks for his help. The original plan was to send only Frank to Canada but after Karl (Frank’s father) was sent to Buchenwald, they sent an urgent cable to Mr. Birks, asking for his help for the entire family. Eventually, visas were issued in Hamburg by the Canadian Consul on January 23, 1939 for Karl, his wife Marie, their 3 sons Frank, Robert and Paul and Marie’s mother, Elise Leitschen. The permission to go to Canada made it possible Karl’s immediate release. The whole family arrived in Halifax on March 5, 1939.

- Plain postcard sent by Sandor Zafir to his brother upon his arrival in Auschwitz. There is no stamp. A rubber stamp restricts answers to postcards of 30 words or less, in German, and adds that it was delivered by the Association of Hungarian Jews in Budapest. Narrative: Sandor Zafir was deported from the ghetto of Satu Mare to Auschwitz; he arrived on 1944-06-03. The postcard was written by a clerk in German on the day Sandor Zafir arrived at the camp; Mr. Zafir was asked to address and sign it. Sandor's brother, the recipient ofthis postcard, was in a Hungarian labour camp at the time the postcard was sent. The text is designed to reassure the family that all is well. The differences in handwriting are clearly visible; furthermore, the Zafir family did not speak German at home and so Sandor would not have written to his brother in German.
