Luggage tag

Luggage tag from the Ernie Pyle during the donor's family's voyage to the United States. Ani Miodownik (donor), along with her parents and sister, were sent from Sosonoweic to the Srodula ghetto, where they went into hiding. Ani's father was killed while out trying to get water, and Bina made multiple attempts to escape the ghetto with her two small children. She found a hiding place with a Polish family, but Ani's younger sister Ruth who was 2.5 years old was placed in an Catholic orphanage. Bina and Ani remained in hiding until the war ended. Their attempts to find Ruth were unsuccesful. Eventually they left Poland and moved to the Zeilsheim DP camp, where Bina remarried. They immigrated to the United States in 1947.
