Abstract

Full name: **Kerosene lamp from the house of Szymon Kluger in Oświęcim** A mid-twentieth-century kerosene lamp from the collection of objects found in the house of Szymon Kluger (1925–2000), the last Jewish resident of Oświęcim. Szymon was one of the Jewish residents of Oświęcim who survived the Holocaust and eventually returned to their hometown. Surprisingly, he did so in the 1960s, when the last remaining Jews were on the point of leaving the town in the face of mounting antisemitism and a growing sense of isolation. They decided to leave Poland for good, joining their families, primarily in the United States and in Israel. **For more images and further information, visit:** https://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/objects-list/2881 Inventory number: MZ-291-O Localisation of the physical object: Auschwitz Jewish Center, Oświęcim, Poland **Digitalisation: Regional Digitalisation Lab, Małopolska Institute of Culture in Kraków, Poland; "Virtual Museums of Małopolska" project** Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
