- 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.

- Blanket consists of small square patches stitched together to form a large square blanket. Concentration camp blanket. Narrative: This blanket was issued to prisoner in a concentration camp, it was used by Sonia Aronowicz during a death march. Sonia Aronowicz was born in 1915 in Vilnius, Poland (today Lithuania). Her family had lived in Vilnius for many generations. She was married to a lawyer named Misha Aronowicz and studied to become an accountant. In 1941, after the Nazis invaded the region, Sonia and her family were sent to the Vilnius ghetto. The ghetto was liquidated in September 1943 and men and women were separated. This was the last time Sonia saw her husband Misha and her younger brother Ariye. Her parents went into hiding. Sonia was deported along with her friend, Miriam and Miriam’s sister-in-law, Minya. The three of them made a pact to always stay together. This gave them strength. Together they worked successively in the concentration camps of Riga-Kaiserwald and Riga-Strasdenhof in Latvia, and Stutthof and Bromberg-Ost (in Bydgoszcz), Poland. Their work was very demanding, they built rails for trains and hauled wood to build barracks. Sonia was then sent on a death march and was eventually liberated by Soviet soldiers in Pomorze, Poland.

- 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.
