Gold charm in the shape of an elephant that belonged to Marila Muszynski, who had received it at the age of four from her aunt Dora. Marila and her family were deported to a Siberian labor camp called Aladan. The charm was on a necklace which she wore through the war, losing it and finding it at one point. She survived and she eventually immigrated to the United States where she befriended the donor's family.
