About the artifacts
“I can feel at this moment – the pain in your heart when you receive this letter. It is not our fault. We are innocent. Our future is lost, and it cannot be changed.” With these words, Tola Goldblum told her sister in Canada why they would never see each other again. Tola, her husband Izak, and their son Wolf all later perished in the Holocaust. The only one to survive was Tola’s daughter, Salusia (now Sally Wasserman).
Credits: Eight-year-old Salusia smuggled this letter from her mother, Tola Goldblum, out of the Dąbrowa ghetto. Salusia survived under the protection of Mikolei and Eva Turkin, a non-Jewish Polish couple. Family photos include a portrait of siblings Salusia and Wolf Goldblum (photo at right, second from bottom). Wolf perished with his mother Tola at Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center. USHMM, gift of Sally Wasserman.
