Donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2017 by Golda Friedler, wife of Sali Friedler.

Sali, born in 1930, was sent on Kindertransport to Glasgow, Scotland in 1939 with his older brother Leo. Their parents, Charlotte and Bernhard, were deported to Riga, Latvia and Auschwitz-Birkenau respectively. Charlotte was deported from Riga to the Stuthoff concentration camp and was liberated in March 1945. She was eventually reunited with her sons in the 1950s in the UK.
