Also in Bronia Eiger-Sitner collection
The collection consists of a forced labor identification tag relating to the experiences of Bronia Eiger-Sitner in Germany during the Holocaust and a photograph of her relative, Ania R. Hoptman, as part of a Jewish student delegation laying a wreath at Dachau after the war.
Date: 1944-1950
Prisoner identification tag with attached charms issued to Bronia Eiger-Sitner
Object
Forced laborer identification tag 578 issued to Bronia Eiger-Sitner in Lippstadt, Germany after her arrival in late November 1944. Bronia was deported from Auschwitz concentration camp in German-occupied Poland as part of a transport of 300 hundred women that arrived on November 23, 1944. She served as a slave laborer in a munitions factory in Lippstadt, which was operating as an all-female subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp. Each woman in her transport was assigned a Buchenwald prisoner number between 25001 and 27000. Bronia’s number was 25578, and the last three digits of this number were used on her prisoner identification tag. The prisoners were housed on the grounds of the factory, Lippstadt Eisen und Metallwerke, and produced ammunition, hand grenades, and aircraft parts. The heart and mezuzah charms attached to the tag may have been added postwar.
