Phase II

 

The Phase II collection of the Virtual Holocaust Museum builds on the foundation of Phase I, introducing new artifacts that further illuminate the personal histories of Ottawa-area Holocaust survivors and their families. Each object offers deeper insight into survival, loss, and resilience, ensuring these stories continue to be preserved and shared.

 

Like the initial collection, these artifacts span different time periods—some date back to before World War II, others originate from the Holocaust era, and some reflect life after the war. Together, they highlight the diversity of experiences and the lasting impact of the Holocaust across generations.

 

As the museum continues to grow, Phase II welcomes new submissions, reinforcing our commitment to remembrance and education. Each artifact added strengthens our connection to the past, ensuring these stories endure for future generations.

Rug Hooked Pillow

This is a pillow that Eko made. My grandmother’s sister Eko was always doing something with her hands, including embroidery, which she loved.
