Zahava Kohn: Fragments of a Lost Childhood
Zahava Kohn was a Holocaust survivor. 60 years after her liberation, she found a mysterious suitcase tucked away at the back of a cupboard with no idea what it would contain. This chance find would reveal a wealth of incredible artefacts from those wartime years, including photographs, documents and letters.
Surviving the decades after the war, these relics were discovered in pristine condition and provide a fascinating insight into how Zahava’s family weathered the storm of Nazi persecution.
This online exhibition tells this story of survival through these historical remains. It is based on her book Fragments of a Lost Childhood. Sadly, Zahava passed away in 2022.
