Nearly 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, a new Holocaust exhibit highlights unique stories about the personal items of all sizes that Jews took when they fled the Nazis.
The exhibition, Sixteen Objects, includes a doll, black piano, a diary, a stethoscope, a glitzy evening purse and a menorah among the objects chosen from more than 50,000 items at Yad Vashem that are connected to the Holocaust.
The exhibit’s items represent Germany’s 16 states, with one coming from each region, and serve as a "reminder of the countless lives and communities destroyed by Nazi Germany during the Holocaust," Yad Vashem curators said in a release.
This year’s Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the 78th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp on Jan. 27, 1945, as well as the 70th anniversary of the Yad Vashem memorial.
"By connecting the personal stories of these objects with the current modern locations in Germany, the exhibition creates a bridge between the memory of the past to present and future societies," curators' said.
