Edith would hide her glasses in her closed fist to reduce her chances of being selected for death. Her foot healed and she was deported to the Bergen-Belsen camp in September 1944. Edith was forced on a death march to the Theresienstadt ghetto and was liberated in May 1945.

A Metal stamp with embedded needles used by Nazi soldiers to tattoo Jewish inmates at the Auschwitz death camps. SS soldiers used the small stamps, consisting of a two, two threes and a six or a nine, to tattoo inmates as they were processed on their arrival at the camp in German-occupied Poland. The metal stamps were slid into a wooden block to form a number, which was pushed into the prisoner's flesh. Ink rubbed into the wound created a tattoo. Auschwitz was the only Nazi camp where prisoners were tattooed. At the initial period of the death camp, identification numbers were sewn onto inmates' clothing, but the procedure was changed after the clothes often disintegrated and due to the guards' difficulty to identify the prisoners who had been stripped before death.

In the ruins of the hopes and dreams of one Jewish home in World War II, one British soldier sought refuge. Buried in the dust and rubble, something shined through that he and his family have embraced ever since. Arthur South of South Acton, London, uncovered what he believed were two brass candlesticks. As with many soldiers, South decided to keep the items as souvenirs of war. South placed the two candlesticks in his duffel bag and carried them with him, eventually bringing them home to his family in England in 1945. For those who were taken to any number of the concentration camps, there were no personal belongings allowed.
