When forced to flee persecution, refugees often carry personal items that serve as emotional anchors to their former lives, such as a small teddy bear that a 7-year-old Jewish boy from Budapest took with him when his family was forced to leave their home during the Holocaust, representing the only tangible connection to his happy childhood.

JAHM Guide Feature: What Would You Bring?Added:
I was born in April 1937 in Budapest, Hungary into a well-to-do middle-class Jewish family.
I had no brothers [music] or sisters.
In 1941, Hungary entered the war and in a remarkably short time everything changed.
Anti-Jewish laws were passed restricting our lives. Forced labor camps for Jewish men were set up all over the country and my father was taken to such a camp.
My mother now had to look after me on her [music] own. I was just 7 years old.
We had to move into a designated yellow star block of flats leaving our home to a non-Jewish neighbor.
When we were ordered to leave our home, we had to decide what to take with us.
I had quite [music] a big teddy and a second smaller teddy. I couldn't take the big one, so I took the little teddy with me instead.
I needed something to remind me of my early life when I was a happy child.
That was the only thing that was there at the beginning of my life.
