Holocaust Museum Showing Survivors Toys by Jackson Scoggins

The Yad Vasheem Holocaust Museum currently has an exhibit showing toys that children of the Holocaust carried around with them around that time. The exhibit includes toys like Ina Rennert's best friend Miszou a teddy bear she almost left behind when escaping from Poland with her family. Other toys include Claudine Schwartz's doll which wore a dress her mother made. That doll helped them survive the times. Little did Claudine know that her mother had hidden precious stones in the doll that she sold whenever they needed money.

It's really interesting about how the doll had the stones. That is really cool.I think it is super cool that there are still survivors left to share their story. Pretty soon there will be no one left to get these stories from. I'm glad I've gotten to meet two different survivors while I can.
