Most of the photographs of the Kral and Felsenburg family members were found in bulk, and nearly all of them were marked on the reverse side with important data, which helped to identify the persons, places and dates particular photographs were taken. They were primarily taken in the late 1930s. The photographs from the trip around the USA were taken in 1941.
Another moving war story, which was recreated on the basis of just a few photographs pasted into a small family album and one document from the post-camp archive, is the story of the Jewish family, the Eichenbronners from Germany.
The exact place of discovery of this album is unknown because one of the family members - Walter Eichenbronner - was referred to the Majdanek camp; thus it is possible that the album was confiscated from him during his stay here. However, it cannot be ruled out that the album was taken from his wife, Flora Eichenbronner before she and her daughter Gisela were deported to the ghetto in Bełżyce Similarly, it may have been found on the grounds of the Flugplatz camp in Lublin. It is worth mentioning that the album's canvas cover bears Flora Eichenbronner's name seal, which is why this collection is commonly referred to as "Flora's album".
In one of the pictures, we see a young, elegant man in a hat, holding a girl a few years old by the hand. There are standing in front of a town house grinning. Subsequent pictures depict only a little girl playing near the house.
It can be assumed that the man in the picture is Walter Eichenbronner, but who is the little girl? Is her name Flora, as might be suggested by the stamp on the album cover?
