Keys to the house of Szymon Kluger in Oświęcim

3D Model

Full name: Set of keys to the house of Szymon Kluger in Oświęcim, Poland

A set of, most probably, front door keys. Part of the collection of objects found in the house of Szymon Kluger (1925–2000), the last Jewish resident of Oświęcim. Szymon was one of the Jewish residents of Oświęcim who survived the Holocaust and eventually returned to their hometown. Surprisingly, he did so in the 1960s, when the last remaining Jews were on the point of leaving the town in the face of mounting antisemitism and a growing sense of isolation.
