Asset Overview

Full name: **Philips radio receiver from the house of Szymon Kluger in Oświęcim, Poland** Model: Philips BS 401 A Manufacturer: Royal Philips N.V. (1950s) 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. **For more images and further information, visit:** https://muzea.malopolska.pl/en/objects-list/2884 Inventory number: MZ-294-O Localisation of the physical object: Auschwitz Jewish Centre, Oświęcim, Poland **Digitalisation: Regional Digitalisation Lab, Małopolska Institute of Culture in Kraków, Poland; “Virtual Museums of Małopolska” project**
