French Girls' Dolls Donated To Holocaust Museum

Absolutely heart-breaking.
"They were snatched from two Jewish sisters who were lined up in the snow and sent to Nazi death camp Auschwitz - never to return.
And now the dolls which belonged to Denise and Micheline Lévy, who were aged nine and eight when they were brutally captured, have been donated to a Holocaust museum in Paris.
The two dolls, one pink and one blue, were left lying in the street after the sisters and their family were caught by gendarmes in Gemeaux, eastern France, in February 1944.
A village shopkeeper rescued the dolls and they were passed through three generations so the memory of the two young girls would be kept alive.
Their tragic story will now be revealed to the world thanks to Frédérique Gilles, 38, who decided to hand over the dolls to the Shoah Memorial."

A moving story, providing the dolls really belonged to the girls.
