Handkerchief sent to Charlotte Landesmann Hirsch by her 16 year old sister, Roszi, shortly before Roszi and other family members were executed by German or Hungarian police soon after the German occupation of Hungary in spring 1944.

Jancsi escaped the execution with their brother Tibor’s young daughter. Charlotte was in a labor camp or living in hiding with her seven-year-old daughter during the German occupation.
