Acquisition

The collection was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2017 by Eva Berglind, the daughter of Susanne Berglind.

Scope and Content

Six works of art created by artist Susanne Berglind (donor's mother) illustrating her experiences during the Holocaust. Susanne Zimmerman was born in Miskolic, Hungary and was interned in the ghetto there. Susanne was deported to a series of concentration camps with her sister and mother, including Auschwitz, Plaszow and Bergen Belsen. Her mother died at liberation in Bergen-Belsen. The six works of art, which are watercolor on tissue or pastel on paper, document these experiences. Susanne was taken to Sweden after liberation on June 28, 1945 on the Kastleholm, where she recuperated.
