Notes
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.

Double-panel kennkarte marked with an orange "J" for Marie Louise Sara Cahn. The front is beige with a darker yellow-beige pattern. The right panel has a b&w portrait at t.l. and fingerprints at t.r.. There are four circular Reichsadler ink stamps issued by the presidential police in Mainz, as well as a blue postage stamp from 1938 at the b.r. of the left panel. Issued 1939-01-04, expiry date 1944-01-04. The verso is plain grey with black lettering. Narrative: William M. 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.

Notes
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.

Paper with two holes punched on left edge, creased once horizontally and three times vertically, signed by hand, with minor additions in pencil. Curriculum vitae of Isaac Herbert Isselbaecher detailing his departure from Germany, his employment history in England, and the dates of his emigration. He provides four references: a cousin and three uncles, all living in New York City. Narrative: Isaac Herbert Isselbacher was born 1919-11-20 in Isselbach, Germany. His brother was Helmut Isselbacher, born 1921-12-20. Their father was Jacob Isselbacher, born 1883-08-05. They had an uncle and aunt, David and Betty Loewenstein, who lived in New York City with their two children. Isaac left Germany on 1939-07-29, hoping to join his relatives in NYC. He only had the time to get to London, England before the war broke out and started working in a factory. He was arrested at his workplace as an ‘enemy alien’ and sent to Canada for internment in 1940. Isaac was interned in Camp N in Sherbrooke, Quebec. He was drafted into the Works Program Division for woodworking and net-making. In 1940, he received a last letter from his parents which suggested their imminent deportation. After his release, circa November 1942, Isaac worked as a locksmith. He married Fanny Azeff on 1943-12-26 at the Bnai Jacob synagogue in Montreal. Fanny was born on 1921-12-23 in Canada, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Azeff. Isaac was naturalized as a Canadian citizen on 1946-06-08. Fanny was naturalized on 1946-08-30 (she had lost her citizenship by marrying Isaac). Upon learning of his brother’s survival, Isaac travelled to New York in April 1946 to meet with him and their Loewenstein relatives. Afterwards, Helmut travelled to Canada bringing with him a washing machine and bras as late wedding presents for his brother and Fanny. By 1946-08-12, their parents were presumed dead and the two sons inquired into their estate. They received a deed for the land and travelled to the estate to discover that the current owner of their house was their old maid and her son had become the town mayor. Various disputes arose with the current ‘owners’ who believed the Isselbacher family dead. Isaac wished to discuss a settlement, but the mayor’s mother –not realizing Fanny understood German- called the neighbours at work to warn them not to come home as the Isselbacher sons had resurfaced. Payment for the land had reportedly been sent to Israel, though no documentation could be provided.

She was to be sent to her uncle and aunt (her father's brother and his wife) when she was 6 or 7 months old. Her father was sent to a forced labour camp in the Ukraine; he died during the war.
