Name of the exhibit:<\/strong> The Sprechers of Cologne<\/p>\n

Submitted by:<\/strong> Marlene Wolinsky<\/p>\n

Date of origin:<\/strong> March 7, 2018<\/p>\n

Origin of the object:<\/strong> This book is a compilation of records and personal accounts relating to my father and his families struggles as German Jews living in Cologne Germany. It is a collaboration by the second generation of holocaust survivors to remember and record our family history.<\/p>\n

Description:<\/strong> This book contains historical documents, family letters, official records (deportation, expulsion, death notices), family photos and first-hand accounts of the treatment of Jews in Germany from 1936, prior to the war until 1944. It tells of the painful road of survivors during and after the war and their struggles to create a new life in Canada, England and Israel.<\/p>\n

Voyage to Ottawa:<\/strong> The records within this volume were sourced from Germany, England, the United States, Israel and Montreal. It was published in the USA and then distributed to members of the Sprecher family at a reunion of first and second cousins and grandchildren in Toronto in June 2018.<\/p>\n

\n
