An Original Ketubah Written from Memory in Bergen-Belsen

Miryam Elizabeth Herbst and Moshe Ladislav Sarvasi met in the Bergen-Belsen DP camp about two months after they were liberated. She, a young Slovak who had survived three years in Auschwitz, had parted that same day from her sister who had married and left the camp. He, a young Yugoslav officer who had been a prisoner-of-war for four years in Germany, had come to the liberated camp in the hope of finding relatives.
