b&w, couple standing next to each other, looking in the same direction. They are the donor's paternal uncle and his wife. Narrative: In the 1920’s Serge and Sophie Philipson (nee Orbach) left Berlin for Paris due to rising antisemitism. On July 15, 1930 their daughter Rachel was born. Serge, Sophie and Rachel were Polish citizen, they never got either the German or the French citizenship. In Paris, Serge worked for Les Modes Modernes, the hat factory of his brother-in-law, Henri. When an opportunity to expand the business in Ireland arose, Serge moved to Galway. The new factory opened in July 1938. In August 1939, Sophie, Rachel, and 4 other family members (Rachel’s cousin Stéphane, his maternal grandmother Néné, Serge’s sister Esther and Serge’s sister-in-law Choura) left for Cabourg, in Normandy. After the winter 1939-1940 it became difficult to communicate with Ireland but Rachel and Sophie could still send and receive letter from Serge. At the end of winter 1940, the group moved to Néris and in July 1940, after the occupation of France by Germany, they settled in the zone libre in the village of Cauterets, on the border with Spain. They were reunited with Robert, Serge’s brother. In August 1942, 4 family members (Sophie’s sister Ella and her husband Ernest, their daughter Ruth, Serge’s siblings Robert and Esther) were arrested by local police and deported. They were not seen again. At the beginning of 1943, Sophie, her mother Augusta and Rachel moved to Maubourguet. In April 1943, they moved to Cannes in Hotel Victoria with Henri, Stéphane and Néné. Henri, Sophie and Augusta went into hiding together while cousins Stéphane and Rachel were taken care of by Néné and returned to Maubourguet. In January 1944, Henri, Sophie and Augusta were denounced and arrested. They were transferred to Marseille before being sent by train to Drancy transit camp from where they were deported. It is believed they were killed in a Polish killing centre. In 1944, Rachel moved from one place to another – under a non-Jewish identity - and continued to correspond with her father. In June 1945, she reunited with her father Ireland. They had not seen each other for 6 years. In 1951, Rachel got married. In 1954, she immigrated to Montreal.

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.

Notes
White border, indoor scene, group picture. In front, on the right, Celinka (Cecile) Zilberbogen wearing white pyjamas. The walls behind them have a flower patterned tapestry. Narrative: Photograph was taken at Andrésy OSE-run children's home. The Zilberbogen were a Jewish family originally from Warsaw (Poland). Mother Chana and daughters Elzbieta (born 1933) and Celinka (born 1937) moved to Belgium in 1939. The father, Szygmundt, an engineer, stayed in Poland. During the Second World War, the mother and daughters were first sent to a transit camp in the South of France before being released. Chana was then hospitalized and spent the war hidden in a Sanatorium in Mazamet. Elzbieta and Celinka were hidden in various locations in the South of France, including a farm and different children's homes run by OSE. Szygmundt was killed in Poland. Chana and her daughters went back to live in Belgium after Liberation until immigrating to Canada in 1951.
