About this work

Isabel Wachenheimer still signed with her concentration camp number, 'K.Z. häftling No 918' three months after she was liberated. Just see the inscription on the back of a portrait photograph of her taken on 25 September 1945. Isabel was a broken person after the war. She slowly recuperated from a fractured vertebra in Davos (Switzerland). In November 1946 Isabel married Leo Blumensohn, a fellow victim she met in the Westerbork transit camp.
