[nb-NO]Description[nb-NO]Pair of grey long ski socks, with stripe of red and blue, belonging to Magda Grün. "Until 1944, Magda Grün, her husband Ernst and mother-in-law lived precariously as economically-important Jews. After the Slovak uprising in Banská Bystrica, they fled into the Strážov Mountains hiding in a hole in the ground. The importance of these socks was not just the provided warmth; the imprint which they left in the snow resembled that of a soft-soled Slovak peasant shoe." Helen Doctors, daughter
