- beige cardstock card folded in two with stapled b&w identity picture on the front page. Printed in black with two handwritten signatures and one purple stamp on the front page. Dates of transfusions on the inside and dates of medical exams on the back page. 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 lean 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.

- 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.
