scope and content: Sugar bowl, part of a tea service illustrating the experiences Osias and Seril Olesker in Vienna, Austria, and their children, Ruth and Martha, and their efforts to flee Nazi-occupied Vienna, Austria. Ruth and Martha were able to flee May 31, 1939, with the support of Henry Turkel, a cousin, and documents show he then tried to secure visas for Osias and Seril, who never left. They were deported to Opole, Poland, in February 1941, where they were likely killed. The tea set was entrusted to Ruth by her mother and brought to the United States when Ruth immigrated.
