The purpose of this collection is to simulate the experience of Jews living in Europe during Nazi occupation by interacting with objects that they may have seen, touched, or used. This applies to life in a ghetto and life in a concentration camp. The collection also contains artifacts used by non-Jews who were oppressed by the Nazis. You will see armbands, badges, currency, dog tags, employee records, patches, pins, printed material, and stamps. You will see books, clothing, concentration camp items, hats, religious items, and shoes. You will see 150 letters written by concentration camp prisoners to their families.
