Acquisition

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Judith Sobel

Donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2016 by Judith Sobel, who is related to Blima Sicherman by marriage.

Scope and Content

Contains documents concerning Blima Sicherman, born in Breslau, Germany [present-day Wroclaw, Poland] in 1905. Includes a Polish postwar passport issued in the Czech Republic and documents for vaccination, immigration documents, and translations attesting to Blima's internment in the Auschwitz concentration camp and then "Brnenc" [Brunnlitz] concentration camp, where she survived due to the actions of Oskar Schindler. From there, Blima went to Sweden and immigrated to the United States. Her husband, Oskar Sicherman and children [names unknown] did not survive the Holocaust.
