- Notes
- Brown and black comb with thin teeth along the top edge. The bottom edge widens out and has a slight curve; the side has a convex curve. Narrative: 30 female prisoners of the concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau used this comb, including Margit Kohan. Margit was originally from Beclean, in the Transylvania region of Romania. She was deported to Auschwitz in April 1944 and assigned to work in "Kanada", the warehouse where the goods confiscated from the prisoners were stored and sorted. Possession of such a personal item in the camp was forbidden. After Auschwitz, Margaret was transferred to other concentration camps to manufacture ammunition and was finally liberated in the camp of Terezin (Theresienstadt) in the Czech Republic. The comb was given to the museum by her husband, Andor Mihaly.
