Abstract
The Nazis actively stripped the identities of millions; the study of artefacts mitigates the erasure of personal histories of those who survived and those who did not. Certain artefacts, such as the railway cars that have been displayed all over the world, provide instantly recognisable symbolic memorialisation of the horrors of the Holocaust. Additional material culture, such as smaller personal artefacts, allows students of the Holocaust to glean historical and social context, as well as ethnographic insight directly from those who experienced it. As this chapter shows, artefacts provide pertinent historical evidence that is both poignant and tangible, deepening one's understanding of identity, expressions of resistance, and memory.
