Notes
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.

Photograph with borders. Outside winter scene. People in heavy winter coats are loading horse-drawn carriages with big bags.

Narrative: Edith Jakubowicz was deported from Lodz ghetto to Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944-08. After the liberation, she returned to Lodz and joined her cousins in her aunt's former apartment. Her cousins had survived by hiding in a bunker for 22 months. The cousin gave the apartment to a non-Jewish Polish family on condition that Edith could stay in one room, a term to which they agreed. The father, Olie Nitchak was a photographer and owned a photo shop. Out of fear, that these pictures would be thrown away, Edith stole them and brought them to Israel in 1951 and to Montreal in 1953. According to Edith, the photographs were taken clandestinely by Olie Nitchak.

Document numbered 700416, expiration date is March 8, 1944. Narrative: Else Eggers was the mother of the donor, Edith Borenstein. She survived the war in hiding and settled in Montreal.
