CONCENTRATION MONEY EXHIBIT TRAVELS
In an earlier E-Sylum issue, we mentioned the traveling
exhibit of concentration camp money currently making
the rounds. An article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram
describes the collection's latest stop. [Sorry we're late
publishing this - it just missed last week's issue. -Editor]"A traveling exhibit of one of the world's larger collections
of paper money issued in Nazi-imposed ghettos and
concentration camps is on display through Oct. 29 at
Frost Bank, 4200 S. Hulen St.The currency -- issued at 13 concentration camps including
Auschwitz in Poland, Dachau and Buchenwald in Germany,
and the Warsaw, Poland,ghetto -- is on loan from the
Holocaust Museum Houston.""Livia Levine of Fort Worth, a survivor of the camps at
Auschwitz and Bergen-Belsen, Germany, said it was
something she had never seen."Not only did I not see it, I never heard about it," Levine,
80, said as she visited the display.She said there was nothing to buy or sell in the camps.
"Sometimes we traded a little piece of bread for a little
piece of potato. That was it," she said."The artifacts are part of a 400-piece collection donated to
the museum by Charleton Meyer, a money and coin
collector from Shreveport, La., who collected it to help
document the Holocaust."To read the full story, see: Full Story
