- Double-sided propaganda handbill distributed by the Allies to induce German soldiers to surrender. The reference to the issuer as “the best-fed army in the world” hints that the flyer is of American origin. The reference to the Atlantic Wall being broken implies a date range from June 1944 onwards.

- Double-panel identity card with b&w photo portrait stapled on the the top left. Information has been filled in for Lonia Kawnik, giving her the false identity of Triasse and confirming that she is part of the resistance. There are two signatures at the bottom, as well as two circular red stamps from the Union des Polonais Anciens Résistants de France, Seine branch. Four pink paper stamps worth 5 francs are glued to the lower right side in the space provided. Blank on back. Narrative: Lonia Furstenberg was born on 1914-04-28 in Belchatow (Poland) to Meier Furstenberg and Asha Biblow. She left Poland at the age of 16 to study medicine in Paris (quotas in Poland made it hard for her to pursue her studies). Lonia’s family was German speaking; she also spoke Polish and Yiddish. She had no family in France. She lived in Nancy and Reims before establishing herself in Paris. She learned French while working as a laboratory assistant. She then studied medicine and took classes in all the specialties, but for military medicine. Military medicine required students to learn how to jump out of an helicopter which her father would not give her permission to do. During the Second World War, she was a medicine student and worked in a clinic requisitioned by the German army. She passed as a non-Jewish French citizen and had fake identity paper made to the name of Louise Triasse, supposedly born in Oran. Her resistance activities included caring for wounded resistant fighters, issuing fake disease certificated to young men so they could be exempt for the mandatory labour service (STO service du travail obligatoire) and issuing certificate of good health to prostitutes carrying venereal diseases who wanted to infect German soldiers. She became the first woman to own her own medical laboratory. Lonia was a Communist sympathizer, she was not religious and she eventually married a Gentile, a Polish RAF pilot named Zigmunt Kawnik (born in 1920). All the members of Lonia's family in Poland were deported and killed during the Holocaust.

- Letter from Mount Sinai Sanatorium for Tuberculosis about Elias Rosengarten on official letterhead. It states that Elias Rosengarten was treated for tuberculosis, details his treatment and suggests that the poor condition of his pulmonary system could easily be due to the treatment he suffered during his imprisonment in a concentration camp during the war. Narrative: Elias Rosengarten was treated at the Mount Sinai Sanatorium from 1952-08-29 to 1954-09-12, from 1955-07-03 to 1955-08-01, and from 1956-07-16 onwards.

- Booklet of 200 numbered recipes made of used paper receipts folded in two, bound in the center with yellow string. Beige and pink paper receipts printed in black ink, with recipes written in pencil on the back. Narrative: The recipes were collected by Edith Gluck from other inmates in Lippstädter Eisen und Metallwerke, a subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp known as LEM, SS-Kommando Lippstadt 1. Edith Gluck was born in 1926 in Oradea, Romania (becomes Hungary in 1940). In May 1944, she was deported to the camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau in occupied Poland. Selected for work upon her arrival, she stayed in the camp for a few weeks. In July 1944 she was one of the 530 Hungarian Jewish women sent to Lippstadt, Germany to create a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp on the site of the Lippstadt Eisen und Metallwerke factory. Edith's work consisted of screwing hand grenades in shifts of 12 hours, day or night. In the last days of March 1945, the camp was evacuated and the women sent on forced night marches. The morning of April 1, 1945, the guards abandoned them close to the village of Kaunitz and a few hours later, they were liberated by the U.S Army. She kept the recipe book with her throughout the march.

- beige cardstock identification card with b&w photograph of Lonia Furstenberg on the back page. Printed in black with two handwritten signatures on the front page (Lonia Furstenberg and the secretary of the faculty of medecine). School seal pressed onto the back page (faculté de médecine) and a short excerpt from the decree of July 21, 1897. Narrative: Lonia Furstenberg was born on 1914-04-28 in Belchatow (Poland) to Meier Furstenberg and Asha Biblow. She left Poland at the age of 16 to study medicine in Paris (quotas in Poland made it hard for her to pursue her studies). Lonia’s family was German speaking; she also spoke Polish and Yiddish. She had no family in France. She lived in Nancy and Reims before establishing herself in Paris. She learned French while working as a laboratory assistant. She then studied medicine and took classes in all the specialties, but for military medicine. Military medicine required students to lean how to jump out of an helicopter which her father would not give her permission to do. During the Second World War, she was a medicine student and worked in a clinic requisitioned by the German army. She passed as a non Jewish French citizen and had fake identity paper made to the name of Louise Triasse, supposedly born in Oran. Her resistance activities included caring for wounded resistant fighters, issuing fake disease certificated to young men so they could be exempt for the mandatory labour service (STO service du travail obligatoire) and issuing certificate of good health to prostitutes carrying venereal diseases who wanted to infect German soldiers. She became the first woman to own her own medical laboratory. Lonia was a Communist sympathizer, she was not religious and she eventually married a Gentile, a Polish RAF pilot named Zigmunt Kawnik (born in 1920). All the members of Lonia's family in Poland were deported and killed during the Holocaust.
