History of Sorts

A baby with the eyes of an angel.

Edith Poppelsdorf was born in Amsterdam on 28 December 1941. She was murdered at Auschwitz on 16 August 1942. She reached the age of 7 months.

Someone looked into those eyes and decided to send her to the gas chambers.

That’s all I really can say about Edith. Although I have been doing this for several years—the look of these angel eyes always gets to me, like a punch in the gut.
