Sketchbook with make believe drawings by a former hidden child

Object

Sketchbook with 6 pages of imaginary drawing and sketches by Charles (Charly) Weingarten, 6, in 1947. Charles was born in 1941 in Italian occupied Nice, France, six months after his mother Margarethe was released from Gurs internment camp. She had fled Nazi Germany for France in the early 1930s. When Germany invaded in May 1940, she was jailed as an enemy alien, then released after the German victory. They lived openly until September 1943, when the Germans occupied southern France after Italy surrendered to the Allies. Margarethe got them false papers as Catholics, and they wore cross pendants (see records 2002.420.23-24.) But they went into hiding because of the danger of deportation. They lived in poverty, in a cellar on the grounds of an estate. Charles was ill with bronchitis and severe malnutrition. Nice was liberated by American troops in August 1944. After the war ended in May 1945, Charles was sent to a children's home in Switzerland to recuperate.

Drawing of a battle between American Indians and cowboys by a hidden child

Object

Child's drawing created by 4 year old Charly A. Weingarten circa 1944-45 while living in hiding with his mother. It depicts a fight between Amercan Indians and cowboys. Charles was born in 1941 in Italian occupied Nice not long after his mother Margarethe's release from Gurs internment camp. She was a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany who had resided primarily in France since the early 1930s. In 1943, the Germans, who had occupied northern France since May 1940, assumed control of much of southern France. Margarethe went into hiding with Charly under assumed identities as Catholics. They lived in poverty on the grounds of an estate and Charly suffered from chronic bronchitis and severe malnutrition. Nice was liberated by American troops in August 1944. After the war ended in May 1945, Charly was sent to a children's home in Switzerland to recuperate.
