In 1942, seven-year-old Inge Auerbacher was deported with her parents to the Theresienstadt (Terezín) ghetto. She brought along this doll, named “Marlene” after German actress Marlene Dietrich, which her grandmother had given her. It would remain with Inge throughout her almost three years of imprisonment in the ghetto.
