Gift of Regina Cajgfinger Feuerstein and Ralph Fierstein-Feuerstein

Regina Cajgfinger and her sister Bronia fled Nazi persecution on a Kindertransport bound for England. There they reunited with their mother. Their father, who remained behind in Danzig, was murdered by the Nazis. Regina’s autograph book spans 1938 to 1941 and preserves handwritten notes in Polish and English from her friends and acquaintances—from Danzig to England.
