Also in Leika and Moisei Akkerman collection
Abacus and washboard that initially belonged to Leika and Moisei Akkerman (donor's parents). The items were left behind in their family home when they escaped to Tashkent in the summer 1941. When they returned to Edinet in 1948, they found their home occupied by locals. The house had been looted and many of their belongings were found in the posession of neighbors who lived a two houses down and claimed that they had "bought" these items during the war. Among the few items that remained in their home were this washboard and the abacus which was used by Moisei who worked as an accountant at the local post office.
