A desktop radio receiver from the collection of objects found in the house of Szymon Kluger (1925–2000), the last Jewish resident of Oświęcim.
Szymon survived the Holocaust and eventually returned to his hometown. Surprisingly, he did so in the 1960s, when the last remaining Jews were on the point of leaving postwar Oświęcim in the face of mounting antisemitism and a growing sense of isolation.
