TitleDentures
DescriptionSet of dentures.
Set of dentures belonging to Frantiska (Fani/Fanny) Finger (nee Sperlingova), wife of Herman Finger, whilst they were in the Tsibolovke (Transnistria) and Bondurovka (Romania) ghettos/camps.
Frantiska was born in 1894, was very religious and observant, and was happily married despite her husband being non-religious and a poor tailor of relatively low socio-economic status. They had a civil marriage ceremony on 28 September 1917.
Frantiska, Herman and their four sons (Adolf, Sol/Salo, Benno and David) lived in an apartment in Cernauti (Bukovina), Romania, until they were taken to Cernauti ghetto.
Frantiska and Herman were separated from Benno when he and his wife Fella were taken to Bershad concentration camp. They later reunited, travelled to Bondurovka camp, where they were liberated in 1944, and were separated again until they returned to Cernauti.
Frantiska and Herman migrated to Australia in 1949, a year after Benno and his family. Herman and Benno bought a dry-cleaning/tailor shop together but his father died three weeks later from cancer. Frantiska died from illness a year after.
These dentures are part of a collection of certificates, glasses, photographs and other memorabilia belonging to Fani Finger, donated by her son Benno in 1993.
