Two young girls in the Kovno ghetto wearing Stars of David that were fashioned out of wood by their uncle.
Pictured are Henia Wisgardisky (right) and her cousin, Bluma Berk. This photograph was taken a few months before Henia's mother smuggled the two girls out of the ghetto. Both children were hidden by Lithuanian families and survived the war.
