Just before the end of World War II, in various camps across Europe many of the survivors were left only to hope. And hope was underway and started to arrive from the US. Elly Kleinman says that although the war was nearly was over, many of the survivors were still hungry and weak. One of the first packages contained matzah (a traditional unleavened Jewish bread) and this was the first step in the right direction. Mr. Glattstein kept some sewing patterns when he immigrated to the United States and they were subsequently donated to the KFHEC by his family. At the time there was a shortage of materials, and scrap cardboard was used to trace the patterns of cloth in order to produce shirt collars and cuffs. One of the survivors kept those sewing patterns when he immigrated to the United States and later donated them to Elly d the KFHEC organization. While studding the patterns Elly Kleinman - president of Americare, discovered that the cardboard pieces were cut from matzah boxes sent to the survivors, which is a true evidence of the survivors’ commitment to Torah and a prove of their struggle to resume life.
