- Biography
-
Hilde Sibylla Elkan was born on 21 March 1916 in Eschweiler, Germany. At some point prior to 1940, she, and presumably other members of her family immigrated to the Netherlands, and following the German occupation of that country in 1940, she remained there during the remainder of World War II, living primarily in Arnhem. Her sister, Jenny Elkan, was born in Eschweiler on 26 October 1912. She married Frits Mimets (born 29 September 1906), and it appears that the two lived in Susteren, the Netherlands until they were deported to the Vught concentration camp in s'Hertogenbosch on 9 April 1943. According to records kept at Vught, they were sent to the Westerbork camp on 2 July 1943, and then on 13 July 1943, were sent on a transport to Sobibor, where they were presumed to have been killed. A third sister, Helga Elkan Brady, appears to have immigrated to Great Britain, and lived in Southampton toward the end of World War II and the immediate postwar period.

Part of a collection of paintings: primarily gouache, created by Holocaust survivor Zenek Maor, documenting his experiences during the Holocaust and his life in Israel; Maor (born Moskowicz) was born in Wloclawek, Poland in 1923. His family fled to Warsaw, where they were forced into the ghetto. From there he was sent to a forced labor camp to build a railway line, before being transferred to Auschwitz with his brother Heniek. There they were assigned to a work detail in the Janinagrube coal mine. On January 17, 1945, Zenek and Heniek were forced on a death march towards Germany. After Zenek's liberation by the Red Army, he returned to Wloclawek to initially discover he was the only family member to return.
