A Young Holocaust Victim Left Behind a Clue That Would Reunite Her Family Decades Later
The finding of a pendant with a possible link to Anne Frank at the site of a concentration camp has led to an unlikely family reunion
Fourteen-year-old Karoline Cohn’s good luck charm was not enough to protect her.
A Jewish girl born in Germany in 1929, she is believed to have been deported to the Minsk Ghetto on Nov. 11, 1941. About two years later, the ghetto was liquidated and the Nazis sent the 2,000 Jews there to the Sobibor extermination camp. At some point during that period, her triangular pendant engraved with “Mazel Tov,” a Hebrew phrase meaning “good luck,” her birthplace (Frankfurt) and her birthday (July 3, 1929), was dropped on a pathway that Jews were forced to walk to the gas chambers.
