Document
The collection documents the Holocaust-era experiences of Margalit Katz Harel, originally of Chernivtsi, Ukraine, and her family. Documents consist of identification papers issued to Margalit’s mother Mitzi Katz as a resident of the Mogliev ghetto (Mahili︠o︡ŭ, Belarus). Photographs include pre-war depictions of Margalit in Chernivtsi and her maternal grandparents Yehudit Bartfeld Simche and Chaim Simche. A group photograph taken in Cacica, Romania in 1933 depicts the following people: Margalit, seated on left; Margalit’s second cousin Lizzi Dermar is seated on the right. Behind Margalit is her maternal aunt Berta Simche and standing right is Lizzi’s mother Mancia Dermer.
