This is a small portion of the blanket that was issued to Ursula
upon arriving at Merzdorf, a labor camp in Poland. At this time,
she was assigned the number: 67269. After liberation in May 1945,
Ursula and Buschi traveled 500 miles across Germany back to Lippborg.
Since there was still fighting, they stitched Dutch flags onto their
coats so they would not be arrested or bothered by troops. Also
in this image are photos of Ursuala before and after her war experiences.
