    He sounds like an amazing storyteller! I'm glad she survived and was able to pass on her story to him - and that now he can honor her by being a voice for his mother and thousands of others who were directly affected by those labor camps.

    What a story, my grandparents spoke little about the war. In the later years my grandpa opened up a little bit and I can very much relate. I would never put a value on this, I would cherish it and use it to teach about the terrible things that have happened. Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it. This material should be captured in a book or movie. I applaud the gentleman to speak so lovingly about his mother and the wonderful gifts she gave him. What the Jewish people have endured during the terrible regime is not easy to put in words. You will feel it when you walk into an old camp (Arbeit macht Frei) and the sadness in Auschwitz is real.

    His story really touched me. While I happen to be Christian, I grew up in a very prominent Jewish neighbourhood in Toronto Canada. I also remember the first time I noticed numbers tattoo on someone’s wrist. Anyways I just wanted to share a story with you. Please don’t take any offence from my story, certainly none was meant.
    I remember as a child that I volunteered to be a school crossing guard. If I remember correctly I must have been in grade four or five at the time.
    One of the perks for being a crossing guard was that if it was cold we could go to the office and get a cup of hot Ovaltine. While there I got to know the old gentleman who was the real crossing guard at the crosswalk at one the main road.
    One day I noticed that there were numbers on his wrist and asked him what they were for. When I did so, I noticed that his demeanour changed, he was no longer the very happy odd man I knew, he got very serious and said I was much to young to know.
    I asked him every day for about a week and he told me to ask my mother, if she thought I was old enough, then she could tell me. It was a Friday and when I asked my mom she too had a change in demeanour. She sat me down and explain what they meant.
    This was in the seventies so we didn’t have the internet, so we went to the Library. Turns out my mom knew the woman who worked there and had called ahead. My mother was a teacher and didn’t believe in talking down to kids and within reason they let me read what was put aside for me and also let me see photos of the death camps.
    I remember see Oscar and ran into his arms, remember this was in the seventies and not all men were pedophiles, and we cried for what seemed like an eternity.
    For years after I remember seeing the tattoo on men and women’s arms every so often and would feel like I got punched in the stomach each and every time. Some would notice and our eyes would meet.
    I hope to think they could tell them how sorry I was. There were even a few times where the men would give a nod, or the women would smile a sad smile. It was like I was part of a awkward club that I never wanted to be part of.

    This collection would serve well in a local museum where the family can still revisit it and where the public can learn about history. We have a local museum with a collection that is made up from items that were donated by the people that live here and that gave information about the background of the items. That is much more valuable and interactive then just being presented items that were "found" or collected somewhere with no background. Biggest respect to the owner for the way he was able to present the items and their history and to the appraiser for being a human being with passionate emotion.

The Baltic Jews were eradicated by the Holocaust so all of her mothers people are gone.

Maybe it's past life stuff or something but I feel like it happened to me or my family.

    I see the young woman in the photograph and remember that my mother had one of herself taken very similar to it. She looked also radiant and she was living her normal peaceful youthful life in a little country called Costa Rica. So to think that because this joyful looking woman couldn't have her life and her family and her dreams fulfilled like my mom did something was stolen from the whole of humanity. Is a little bit of shame and a lot of sadness but most of all a lot of hope for a better future. Lest we forget!

    Such a terrible, terrible mark on world history. The fact that there are people who deny the Holocaust is sickening. What happens when the last Holocaust survivor dies? Will it make it easier for people to believe it never happened - despite all the documentation?
    When I was a child, my mother and I were in line in a grocery store. My mom pointed out an older woman who was a few people ahead of us as a nurse she worked with. Then she mentioned her arm. There, on the woman’s arm (which carried burn scars) was a tattooed number, identifying her as having been in one of the German camps. It made a huge impression on me.

I have always had an interest and soft spot in my heart for the people who were treated so badly by sinister German leader and his forces. All of those lost souls!! So terribly sad! I'm so glad this man's mother survived, but like he said, she should have been having fun teenage years instead of fighting for her life back then. I've always hated seeing people treated badly for simply being different in one way or another.

      "priceless" isn't something that's helpful to a museum or for insurance purposes. you can't just put them on a shelf in a museum and leave these objects alone. they need cataloging, conservation, and upkeep. how much an object is worth in money terms helps budget that. if a museum had a fire and the objects were destroyed they would have about that monetary value to replace them with similarly important artifacts.
      if this person's home was destroyed in a disaster and the objects with it, while they are irreplaceable that $10,000 in insurance is a big help for rebuilding. people don't just have things appraised on the roadshow because they are interested in selling. i hope that answers your question! :)
