- Round base with beveled ledges along the circumference. The column tapes out and then in, like 2 bells attached together. At the top of the column is another metal sphere, with a bird (sparrow ?) at the very top of the structure, which is offset to the right. At each side of the metal sphere (below the bird) are ornate arms: filigree shaped with openworked details and leaves coming out of the bottom centre. At the end of each arm is a tulip shaped candle holder, attached to a column and round base. The top of the candle holder has a raised rim in the center with high relief petal-like details around the circumference. The holders screw onto the arms.

Eliezer was sent to Siberia (he was liberated in 1948), Blanka was sent to Kazakhstan (liberated 1947). They reunited in Budapest in 1948 where one of Eliezer’s brothers still lived.They later went to DP camp in Münich where they got new ID papers (changed birth dates and official location of wedding). They Immigrated to Canada via Halifax in 1950; stayed in Montreal for a short time (Eliezer had a sister there), then moved to Kingston where Eliezer’s brother had a store and lived in Napanee until 1953. In 1953, they moved back to Montreal where Eva could have access to Jewish education. Blanka was a waitress and Eliezer worked different jobs including in an insurance company.
