- Double-sided card folded in two, with red circular stamp and b&w identity photograph of the cardholder inside right page. Identifcation card for Jewish Holocaust survivor, delivered by the Association of Jewish Political Prisoners in Antwerp, Belgium. The card was made for Zigmund Schick and lists the dates and places of his deportation and dates of his liberation and repatriation to Belgium. Narrative: Zigmund (Sigmund) Schick was born on November 26, 1920 in Somotor, Slovakia (then Czechoslovakia). At age 7, his family moved to Antwerp, Belgium. Zigmund became a plumber. On July 18, 1942 he is sent along with 300 other Jews from Antwerp to the “Judenlager” of Les Mazures near the French city of Charleville-Mézières. On October 24, 1942 he is deported on transport 15 from Malines to Auschwitz where he arrives on October 26, 1942. Zigmund was selected to forced labour and was given the proisoner number 70672.

- 1 page, double-sided. Folded 3 times horizontally. Document is a letter addressed to Anna (probably Chana Trompeter, before she married Tuwja Bercowicz.) Written on lined paper, many words are underlined and many exclamation marks. On verso, the words 'Je t'aime' (I love you, trad. from French) are written in large letters and circled. Letter is signed by Jack ... (unknown). Narrative: Chana (Chane, Annie) (Trompeter) Berkowicz was the mother of the donor, Jack (Jacques) Berkowicz. Born in Mielec, Poland, was living in Vienna, Austria with her parents and two sisters. In 1938, after the German annexation of Austria, the family fled, driving to France via Belgium. Tuwja (Tuwyas, Tuwia, Tuvia, Tobias) Bercowicz (Berkowicz) was the donor's father. Born in Vilna, Tuwyas immigrated to Belgium in 1933 and when Belgium fell to Nazi Germany in 1940, he fled to France, hoping to reach Morocco by boat from Marseilles. Tuwyas and Chana met in Lyon, France in 1941 and married. Their daughter Dorothée was born in 1942. The family attempted to flee France by boat in Marseilles, but were stopped by Vichy police. They fled Marseilles and went south, into the Pyrenees region, living in various small vilages. Their son Jack was born in Bernac-Dessus in 1944. The family survived the war and returned to Brussels from 1945-1948, and then immigrated to Canada with the help of the American Joint Distribution Committee. They were sponsored by Tuwyas' sister Luba, who was already living in Halifax. The Berkowicz family settled in Montreal.
