Autograph Books as Holocaust Objects
During the Holocaust, Jews brought personal objects with them as they were deported
to camps and ghettos; among these, Jewish girls brought "autograph books", small albums
of blank pages intended for the collection of poems and drawings by friends and acquaintances.
This research analyzes several of these books to ask how they functioned inside spaces
of persecution and what they meant to their owners.
