Archaeologists working at the site of a notorious Nazi death camp have unearthed a pendant thought to be identical to one owned by Anne Frank.
Researchers at Yad Vashem revealed that the triangular pendant inscribed with the words ‘mazal tov’ and the details 3.7.1929, Frankfurt, may have belonged to a teenager called Karoline Cohn who perished at Sobibor. On the reverse is the Hebrew letter ‘heh’ and three Stars of David.
Holocaust experts believe the only other pendant like this belonged to the young Dutch diarist Anne Frank, who died at Bergen-Belsen. They are now exploring the possibility that the two girls may have been connected.
