Notes
Double-panel identity card with b&w photo portrait stapled on the the top left. Information has been filled in for Lonia Kawnik, giving her the false identity of Triasse and confirming that she is part of the resistance. There are two signatures at the bottom, as well as two circular red stamps from the Union des Polonais Anciens Résistants de France, Seine branch. Four pink paper stamps worth 5 francs are glued to the lower right side in the space provided. Blank on back. Narrative: Lonia Furstenberg was born on 1914-04-28 in Belchatow (Poland) to Meier Furstenberg and Asha Biblow. She left Poland at the age of 16 to study medicine in Paris (quotas in Poland made it hard for her to pursue her studies). Lonia’s family was German speaking; she also spoke Polish and Yiddish. She had no family in France. She lived in Nancy and Reims before establishing herself in Paris. She learned French while working as a laboratory assistant. She then studied medicine and took classes in all the specialties, but for military medicine. Military medicine required students to learn how to jump out of an helicopter which her father would not give her permission to do. During the Second World War, she was a medicine student and worked in a clinic requisitioned by the German army. She passed as a non-Jewish French citizen and had fake identity paper made to the name of Louise Triasse, supposedly born in Oran. Her resistance activities included caring for wounded resistant fighters, issuing fake disease certificated to young men so they could be exempt for the mandatory labour service (STO service du travail obligatoire) and issuing certificate of good health to prostitutes carrying venereal diseases who wanted to infect German soldiers. She became the first woman to own her own medical laboratory. Lonia was a Communist sympathizer, she was not religious and she eventually married a Gentile, a Polish RAF pilot named Zigmunt Kawnik (born in 1920). All the members of Lonia's family in Poland were deported and killed during the Holocaust.

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.
