STORYLINE:
Personal belongings, plundered from Italian Jews prior to their deportation to the death camp at Auschwitz, have been presented to Jerusalem's Yad Vashem Holocaust Museum for display in a new historical division.
The artefacts, which include children's jewellery, lockets with family photos and silver cutlery, were recently discovered in a basement in the Italian Treasury.
In the final months of World War II seven sacks - five of which contained personal items neatly labelled by the Nazi's with a catalogue number and monetary value - were being transferred by train to Berlin when stopped by US forces.
The sacks were taken to the Italian Treasury basement where they lay forgotten for five decades.
Then two years ago a letter written by the American General whose troops captured the train reached the secretary of the Trieste Jewish community and alerted him to the existence of the sacks.
The local Jewish community decided to donate fifty items to Yad Vashem for display in a new museum currently under construction.
The artefacts belonged to Italian Jews from the concentration camp of 'La Risiera' in Trieste and were plundered from them before they were deported to Auschwitz in 1944.
Yad Vashem recently sparked an international controversy by conducting a secret operation in Drohobych, a Polish town that became part of Ukraine after World War II.
The Holocaust memorial smuggled out fragments of murals by Polish-Jewish artist Bruno Schulz.
Yad Vashem maintains it was merely exercising its right to preserve the works of a prominent Jewish writer, artist and Holocaust victim, but Ukrainian and Polish officials say their removal was a crime.

Poland: Auschwitz victims' lost possessions discovered after decades
Over 16,000 personal items belonging to victims of the Nazi German concentration and extermination camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau have been delivered to the site's museum, after being retrieved from a storage facility in Warsaw where they had lain forgotten for decades.
These are items that have never been among our exhibits - some coins and liturgic objects like mugs that were used during Shabbat, director of the Auschwitz Museum Dr. Piotr Cywinski said on Wednesday. There are also children's objects among them - it's always an emotional experience [to find something like this], he added.
SOT, Dr. Piotr Cywinski, director of the Auschwitz Museum (Polish): We now have things that we have never had before. There may be some banal examples, like a pencil. [But] these are items that have never been among our exhibits - some coins and liturgic objects like mugs that were used during Shabbat. There are also children's objects among them - it's always an emotional experience [to find something like this].
SOT, Dr. Piotr Cywinski, director of the Auschwitz Museum (Polish): This had no right to happen. I would never have believed that we would find such a huge collection of objects originating from Birkenau.

A Folklorist's Tale: Stories of Tangible Culture, Intangible Culture & the Politics of Culture
Folklorist and scholar Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett drew from her multifaceted career to explore the role of folklore in shaping contemporary cultural discourse. Specifically, she discussed her experiences as chief curator charged with creating the multimedia narrative exhibition at the recently opened POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. How did she approach blending intangible cultural heritage with tangible cultural artifacts to tell the thousand-year story of Polish Jews in a place where little tangible heritage remains? What were the political and cultural challenges in bringing this history to life? And how did her training as a folklorist influence and shape her curatorial decisions?
Speaker Biography: Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimbett is distinguished professor emerita of performance studies at New York University and served as chief curator of the core exhibition at the recently-opened POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. Originally from Toronto, she received her doctorate in folklore from Indiana University and began a multifaceted career in both academic and public sector work.
