Singer family collection

Overview

Collection Summary

The collection consists of a brick from the wall around the synagogue in Celldömölk, Hungary which was bombed down by the Germans and a curtain embroidered by Ilona Waldhauser which she took to the ghetto in Csorna and was taken from her there by locals. Ilona's daughter saw it in a window in Csorna after the war and it was returned to her.

Provenance

The collection was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2017 by Katalin Singer Sági, the daugher of Ilona Waldhauser.
