Coin From An Austrian Museum
The Jewish Museum Vienna opened in 1895 as the first Jewish museum in the world, but shut in 1938. It’s believed this coin was part of the missing collection. It was released in 1927 for the British Mandate of Palestine, which covered the present-day Israel and Jordan. It states the name of the area, as well as an abbreviation for the Land of Israel. It was found by a local.

Veteran’s Badge From Czechoslovakia
Jewish homes were given to locals in Czechoslovakia after their murder. This badge was found by a local called Egon and kept in his family. It’s unknown who it belonged to. It was made for the Jewish section of the Royal Fusiliers, a regiment from the United Kingdom. It was disbanded after World War 1, meaning the veteran relocated to Czechoslovakia and got killed there.

Jam Jars
Nearly half of all the Jews in Belgium perished in the Holocaust. In Antwerp, Nazi citizens attacked Jewish residents, destroyed homes, businesses and two synagogues. These jars were found in an abandoned home after the pogrom of 1941. They were saved by a Christian neighbour called Nathalie and preserved in the family as war relics.
