- Notes
- Photograph with borders. Outdoor winter scene. The picture shows people in heavy winter coats loading horse-drawn carriages with big bags. On the l. a man in uniform is standing and probably supervising the process. It was presumably taken in Lodz ghetto. Narrative: Edith Jakubowicz was deported from Lodz ghetto to Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944-08. After her liberation, she returned to Lodz and joined her cousins in her aunt's former apartment. Her cousins had survived by hiding in a bunker for 22 months. The cousin gave the apartment to a non-Jewish Polish family on condition that Edith could stay in one room, a term to which they agreed. The father, Olie Nitchak was a photographer and owned a photo shop. Out of fear, that these pictures would be thrown away, Edith stole them and brought them to Israel in 1951 and to Montreal in 1953. According to Edith, the photographs were taken clandestinely by Olie Nitchak.
