Needlework sampler, likely created by the donor's aunt, Ilse Neuhaus (1924-1942), who was a clothing design student before she was deported to Auschwitz in 1942. The sampler is one of a number of Ilse's textiles, all part of a collection related to the Kahn and Neuhaus families in Hadamar and Hochspeyer, Germany, and in Amsterdam.
