• Paris, 1942: 3 Jewish families - the Sebbanes, the Polakiewiczs and the Zonszajns were living in the same residential building at 43 Vieille du Temple St. in the 4th district of Paris, the Marais. Most of the families in the area, including the Polakiewiczs and the Zonszajns, were rounded up on 16 July 1942 in the infamous Vel d'Hiv roundup. The Sebbanes' names were not on the lists, probably due to their native French origins. Neighbors wrote to Mrs. Sebbane describing their ordeal and asking for help as the other Jewish residents at 43 Vieille du Temple St. had already been arrested.

  • The drawing by Clairette Vigder with inscription “Tuesday, 14 July 1942”. As a child, living in Nazi-occupied Paris, Clairette devoted hours to drawing what she was not permitted to go out and see in person – brightly colored birds and the sun. With paper scarce, Clairette drew colorful images on materials immediately available – including the covers from packages of cheese. Clairette and her younger brother survived the Holocaust in hiding. Their father was murdered in Auschwitz in 1943. After the liberation the children were reunited with their mother. . . #yadvashem #yadvashemmuseum #artifactscollection #museum #holocaust #history #holocausthistory #shoah #worldwar2 #WWII #paris #france #1942 #drawing #childrendrawing #auschwitz #auschwitzbirkenau

  • Tour de France kicks off tomorrow! Righteous Among the Nations Gino Bartali, born in Florence in 1914, was a champion road cyclist who won the Tour de France twice (in 1938 and 1948) and the Giro d'Italia race 3 times (in 1936, 1937 and 1946). Bartali, who was known to cover large distances with his bicycle for training purposes, transferred forged documents (for rescue operations) hidden in the handlebar and seat of his bicycle from one place to another. When Bartali was stopped and searched, he specifically asked that his bicycle not be touched since the different parts were very carefully calibrated to achieve maximum speed. On July 7th, 2013 Yad Vashem recognized Gino Bartali as Righteous Among the Nations.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #yadvashem #righteousamongthenations #shoah #holocaust #history #letourdefrance #tourdefrance #bicycle #roadbicycle #whenindoubtpedalitout #bicyclette #tdf #ginobartali #bartali⁠

  • Pictured below are Bracha and Yaakov Igaz on their wedding day in 1932. On 26 June 1944, Bracha and her 5 children were deported to Auschwitz where they were murdered. Recently, as a result of Yad Vashem's online exhibition featuring Bracha's last letter before deportation, family members related to both Bracha and Yaakov's sides of the family discovered one another and held a reunion in Israel. In Bracha's last letter to Yaakov, she wrote: Now my darling, we bid you farewell. I don't know if we will meet again in this life. Pray to the good Lord to be merciful with us, because we can't endure this situation for long… Tragically, Yaakov and Bracha did not meet again. But Yad Vashem's new online exhibition brought their families together, and the long-lost relatives met for the first time, 75 years after the last letter was sent, in Israel. . . #yadvashem #letter #postcard #war #worldwar2 #holocaust #shoa #holocausto #history #june #1944 #ghetto #auschwitz
