- White border with deckled edges. Outdoor scene in which two women are sitting on a tree trunk. Behind them stands Celinka (Cecile) Zilberbogen's cousin Boris with his hands on their shoulders. The woman on the left is Celinka (Cecile) Zilberbogen's grandmother Boumama; she is holding a baby Nelly in her arms. On the right, her aunt Dora. The photograph was received to announce the birth of baby Nelly when Elzbieta and Celinka where in children's home la Chaumière. Narrative: At that time The Zilberbogen were a Jewish family originally from Warsaw (Poland). Mother Chana and daughters Elzbieta (born 1933) and Celinka (born 1937) moved to Belgium in 1939. The father, Szygmundt, an engineer, stayed in Poland. During the Second World War, the mother and daughters were first sent to a transit camp in the South of France before being released. Chana was then hospitalized and spent the war hidden in a Sanatorium in Mazamet. Elzbieta and Celinka were hidden in various locations in the South of France, including a farm and different children's homes run by OSE. Szygmundt was killed in Poland. Chana and her daughters went back to live in Belgium after Liberation until immigrating to Canada in 1951.
