The purpose of the excavation is to help historians reconstruct the atrocities committed in Sobiborg more accurately, because the Nazis covered up their criminal evidence, destroyed all the buildings at the scene and burned all the relevant documents. So far, archaeologists have discovered once hidden gas chambers and crematoriums. They also found thousands of cultural relics, including personal items, such as glasses, jewelry, dentures, hair clips, and even a Mickey Mouse ceramic cup.
The Nazis tried to destroy all the evidence of this extinction center in the Woods of eastern Poland, but archaeologists found traces of gas chambers, crematoriums and prisoner barracks. (Yoram Haimi, Israel Cultural Relics Bureau) KDSP 20161KLOC-0/0 In October, archaeologists excavated in a place they thought used to be a barracks. Female prisoners shaved their heads, and then they were sent to a road called "Himmelfahrtstrasse" or "The Road to God".
Yoram Haimi, an archaeologist of the Israeli Cultural Relics Bureau, who is one of the project leaders, told the reporter of Field Science that the shape of the remains of this building is very poor, and only the bottoms of several columns survive. However, Haimi and his colleagues carefully screened the soil in this area and found that many jewels-earrings, watches, rings and pendants-were probably dropped by women and girls who were forced to * * * 75 years ago.
The silver pendant found in these personal belongings is engraved with a birthday-July 3rd, that is, today in 1929, except for the Hebrew word "Mazal Tov" and the city "Frankfurt A.M." (A.M. stands for "am M A in" and refers to the Main River).
In addition, the researcher used Yad Washam's expulsion database to connect the pendant with a girl named Karoline Cohn, who was born in 194 1 year 1 year 1 month 1 year/kloc-0. The Cohen brothers were sent to the slums of Minsk (now Belarus). Hymie said that some records show that Caroline died in Minsk. The discovery of this pendant shows that she may be one of the 2,000 Jews who were sent to Sobibor for execution after the liquidation of Minsk slums in June 1943+00. Or, if Caroline is dead, maybe her mother or another relative took the pendant to the extinction concentration camp, the researchers suggested.
Anne Frank, the victim of the Holocaust, is famous for her diary when she was hiding. She was also born in Frankfurt on June1929 (June 12) and has similar pendants.
"It's exactly the same, but the date of birth is different," Hymie told Life Science. One possibility is that Cohen and Frank may be related.
Haimi said that researchers are still investigating whether there is a real connection between the two girls. He said that Frank's family tree has a branch of the Cohen family, but it doesn't seem to be the same Cohen family. Hymie also said that he didn't know which NTs in Peng Da liked these two, but perhaps by publishing the latest findings, more examples would appear in private collections.
Yad Vashem and Israel Cultural Relics Bureau are now looking for living relatives, who may have more information about Caroline Cohen; Heimi said that the research team has obtained some clues in new york and Jerusalem.
