(3 years ago)One of the most escapeonic evidence of Jewish holocaust is a photo of three little girls at the “station. Liverpool Street” in London. The picture shows three young girls who had just fled Nazi Germany and appeared in many different museums and exhibitions. So far, the identity of girls in the photo [...]
The girls in the picture are two sisters, Ruth and Inge Adamecz and Hannah Cohn (left to right of the picture).
Inge did not remember this picture at first, even for decades she did not even know the existence of this picture until she saw the book by historian Martin Gilbert dedicated Holocaust. Then she contacted Gilbert to report her and her sister's identity to that photo. Meanwhile, she told the BBC she did not know her third doll girl at the time.
And the girl with the doll in hand was Hanna Cohn, who was then 10 years old and had arrived with her twin brother in London from Germany.
Like two sisters, she was unaware of the existence of this photo until late. Unfortunately, Hannah died in 2018, never knowing who the other two girls were in the picture with.
In the meantime, her two twin daughters were able to answer that question that Hannah had always wanted to know, as girls say. They did this through a documentary carried out by the BBC dedicated Holocaust.
They also met Inge, who is the only one still alive to this day. Her sister died in 2015.
Already “Getty Archives”, the company which preserves the original photo, has added to the photo description, the names of three young girls, the Periscope broadcast.
This was named as a special moment by Inge who had waited for over 80 years to find out who the girl who had shared her doll with her during those difficult moments. /Periscopi/
