scope and content: Piece of barbed wire from Pag concentration camp in Croatia where Zdenka Steiner’s (later Novak) mother and sister were killed during the Holocaust. The stone is part of a collection documenting Zdenka Steiner Novak and the Steiner family's experiences in Zagreb, Yugoslavia (now Zagreb, Croatia) before, during, and after World War II. Zdenka and her first husband, who perished, were arrested and told they would be sent to a forced labor camp. Zdenka was released due to family connections, lived in hiding for a time, and then joined the partisans. Her parents, Lavoslav and Elsa, and sister, Mira, were arrested and killed in Jasenovac and Pag concentration camps.
