- Glass bottle with a wooden stopper. Inside the bottle is a crucifixion scene showing figure of a man (Jesus) hanging from a crucifix. The man has painted yellow skin with bits of black hair and beard. The crucifix is painted in orange and silver. There are also four tall tower-like structures painted orange, yellow, blue, and silver; two on the right of the crucifix and two on the left. A silver ladder is positioned under the crucified man. The whole is set into a silver base in two pieces. Narrative: The bottle was handcrafted by a Ukrainian prisoner of war in the Ban Saint-Jean camp. Many of the Soviet prisoners formed close ties with the local farmers, on whose farmers they were sent to work. They created handicrafts such as bottles, baskets, and wooden toys to give as gifts or to trade for food. This bottle was given to Anna Kremer, who lived in Boulay (village close to the camp) by a prisoner to whom she had given food and shoes. Many examples of such bottles and other handmade gifts were given to villagers in appreciation for their help to the prisoners of war. An estimated 22,000 Soviet prisoners of war died at Ban Saint-Jean of malnutrition and exhaustion between 1941-1944.

- Notes
- Georgette Brinberg (née Tepicht) was born on June 10, 1938 in the mining town of Villerupt in northern France. In the 1940s, when the town was attacked by Germany, her mother, father and older sister fled to Paris. Although she was young, she remembers that her father in 1940 was rounded-up and sent to a working camp, and eventually to Auschwitz. In July 1942, she, her sister and mother were rounded up and sent off to the Vélodrome d’Hiver where she stayed for a week until she was split up from her mother and destined to be sent to Auschwitz. Fortunately, Georgette and her sister were able to flee the Vel d’Hiv and were sent to Morée. She does not remember how she ended up there, but she does know that she was in hiding with her sister, and that there was a constant fear of being captured. She had to learn all the Catholic rites in order to pass off as a Catholic girl. In 1944, about the time of the liberation of France, she once more fled Morée and returned to Paris after jumping onto an American truck. Once she arrived in Paris with her sister, they sought out their grandmother who was still in hiding. All three stayed in hiding until the end of the war, and eventually moved to Israel in 1948. In Israel, she joined the Kibbutz – a collective community traditionally based on agriculture. She stayed there, learning Yiddish, until the 1950s. She eventually decided to move to Canada where her sister lived with her husband. In 1955, she finally arrived in Montreal where she went to business school and worked in the Quebec Order of Chartered Accountants. She married in 1957 and had three kids. In subsequent years, she researched the whereabouts of her family and tried to find a trace of those that helped her. She even returned to Paris to learn more about her past and her family legacy. She feels that her story should be told for future generations to remember, in her words: “if I can tell my grandchildren, then why not everyone [else]?”

- Recto has b&w photograph of the casino building in Neris-les-bains. On verso are handwritten messages and address with three red postal stamps on top right with ink stamps. Postcard sent to Serge Philipson in Galway by his daughter Rachel and her cousins Ruth and Stephane. Narrative: In the 1930’s Rachel Levy’s parents, Serge and Sophie Philipson moved from Berlin to Paris due to antisemitism. After a few years, Serge started working in his brother-in-law’s, Henri, company “Les Modes Modernes”. An opportunity to expand the business in Ireland resulted in Serge moving to Irland while his wife Sophie and daughter Rachel stayed in France. In July 1938, the factory opened in Ireland, Rachel and Sophie went for the opening and came back to Paris. In August 1939, Sophie, Rachel, and other family members (Stéphane, Esther, Choura and her mother) went to Cabourg, in Normandy, while Augusta, Ella and Ruth went to Neris-les-bains. Since Paris wasn’t safe for Jews anymore, they decided to stay in Cabourg and rented a small house; Rachel was nine years old and started school there. After winter 1939-1940 it was difficult to communicate with Ireland but the family could still send and receive letters from Serge. At the end of winter 1940 Rachel moved to Neris-les-Bains where the rest of the family was. In July 1940, they left for Cauterets where Robert, Serge’s brother, was staying. They rented an apartment owned by Madame Noebès on rue Richelieu (close to the Spanish border). In 1940, Henri and Stéphane returned to the Riviera. With Néné, they moved to Hotel Victoria on the rue Antibes in Cannes. In August 1942, Mr. Kleinman (a friend from Paris) arrived in Cauterets and told them that Jews who had come to France after 1933 would be deported. Ella, Ernest, Ruth, Robert and Esther were arrested by local police and would be deported and killed later on. At the beginning of 1943, Sophie, her daughter Rachel, Oma, Henri, Stéphane and Néné left Cauterets to move to Maubourguet. In April 1943, they moved to Cannes in Hotel Victoria. On July 15 1943, Rachel turned 15 years old. Mr. Borello offered to hide Henri, Sophie and Grandmother Augusta (Oma) while Stéphane and Rachel were taken care of by Néné and returned to Maubourguet. In January 1944, Henri, Sophie and Augusta were denounced, arrested and transferred to Marseille and then sent by train to Drancy from where they were later deported (they did not survive). Jean (who was in a relationship with Rachel’s aunt Suzanne) came to Maubourget, gave Rachel his daughter’s identity “Jacqueline” and she left for Juan-les-Pins. In 1944, she moved from one place to another and still continued to correspond with her father. At the end of the war, Rachel met her uncle Shaja at the Polish Consulate in Lyon. He offered to help her to get papers to go to Ireland. On June 14, 1945, she spent three days in London with some family members and then took a boat-train for Dublin where she was reunited with her father, Serge, whom she had not seen for 6 years. In 1951, Rachel got married. She had four sons and has been living in Montreal since 1954.

- White border with deckled edges. Outdoor scene of two men surrounded by casket laying on the ground in a field with a forest in the background. The man on the left seems like military. Some flowers have been laid on the caskets. The caskets belong to victims of the tragedy of Guerry’s wells. Narrative: The tragedy of Guerry’s wells is a jewish persecution that took place the night of the 21st and 22nd of July 1944 at Saint-Amand-Montrond (France) on a farm. 36 persons where thrown in three different wells along with some stones in order to crush them alive. Since the beginning of the war many Jewish hid there. Charles Krameisen was the only survivor. He went to the police to tell the tragedy. Robert Monheit (the donor) helped to hid Jews from Alsace-Lorraine (his hometown) to Saint-Amand-Montrond and nearby villages such as La Chartre. He gave lessons to the son of Charles Krameisen to prepare for his bar mitzvah. Regarding the wells, as he was in charge of reorganizing the post-war Jewish life in Alsace-Lorraine and had already links with Saint-Amand, he was part of the witnesses invited to attend the exhumation of the bodies of victims. His religious functions confirmed that the survivors had lost their spouses and therefore gave them permission to remarry.
