On January 26 , 2017 Natalia Feduschak (USA) donated to Museum "Jewish Memory and Holocaust in Ukraine" unique exhibits. These were - three miniature porcelain cups, which have long been considered as a family heirloom. Natalia only recently has discovered the story of their origin. The cups were part of the set, which was given to her grandfather - known lawyer - for deposit by his Jewish client after early Nazi occupation of Poland. It happened on the eve of the deportation of the Jews of Krakow to the Auschwitz death camp. Nobody later came to take back these cups, which became Natalia's wedding present. Today they have enlarged the Holocaust Museum exhibition dedicated to the tragedy of the Jewish people during the Holocaust.
