A sepia-toned portrait of a young girl with her hair in two long braids, looking directly at the camera. She is wearing a collared shirt, reflecting the description of Elli Friedmann as a young girl with braids.
In May 1944, thirteen-year-old Elli Friedmann arrived at Auschwitz with her family after being deported from Hungary. She still had the long blond braids her mother used to carefully tend. On the ramp, everything was noise and terror—guards shouting, dogs snapping, families clinging to each other.
