My object: a pillowslip as dowry for my grandmother
My story about it:
My grandmother, Elisabeth Kaufmann, born in 1907 in Kismanyok (Hungary), carried this linen twice from Hungary to Germany. First in 1945, when she was fleeing Russians to avoid imprisonment, and the second time in 1947, when she was deported from Hungary to Germany.
