Concentratiekampjas, gedragen door Isabel Wachenheimer
Isabel Wachenheimer (1928-2010) wore this numbered prison coat at Lenzing-Pettighofen concentration camp in Austria. She had been transferred to this labour camp from Auschwitz death camp along with 500 other Jewish women in October 1944. This was just after Isabel’s parents, Eugen and Else Wachenheimer, had been murdered in Auschwitz. After the war, Isabel sewed her surname on the coat. A label under the collar states: Wachenheimer.
