Silver engraved kiddush cup given to Zofia Jedrusiak for safekeeping by a Jewish woman in Lublin, Poland, in 1941. She said that Zofia should return the cup to her son if he returned to Poland after the war. This cup had been given to her son on the occasion of his bris, or circumcision, when he was an infant. A kiddush cup is a ceremonial vessel to hold wine for the blessing said at Shabbat and Jewish holidays meals. No one ever returned for the cup, but Zofia's family kept it safe for over fifty years in the hope that someone might return to claim it.
