Scope & content: Wire rimmed, oval frames. The nose piece is arched slightly at the middle; a small metal support is attached to each side, just below the nose piece, with plastic coverings. The arms are stiff metal for the first part, with a ridged design on the top and bottom edge. The part that goes around the ears curves and is flexible. Thick, concave lenses are set into each frame hole. Narrative: During all selections Edit Mautner kept her eyeglasses in her closed fist. She didn't work in Auschwitz or Bergen Belsen, but in a quarry in Leipzig.
