display case containing a metal spoon and a metal mug, possibly from a concentration camp
display case containing a metal spoon and a metal mug, possibly from a concentration camp. The display is accompanied by a text panel that describes three items. The first item is a plate, likely from Jakob Schweller, who was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp from 1935-1939 and 1940-1943. The second item is a cup belonging to Gerard Bouman, who was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp from 1942-1945. The third item is a spoon that belonged to a prisoner who died of typhus and was later used by Georges Maradène, who was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp in 1944/45. The text further explains that possessing a plate, cup, or spoon was vital for the prisoners' survival, and they often marked these items with personal signs. The spoon in the display case has the word "DACHAU" inscribed on it. The text panel is in German and English. The location is the Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site in Dachau, Germany.
