DiaporamaPhotograph of Buddy and his wife Gerti Elias
In the attic of his parents’ home in Basel Buddy and Gerti Elias discovered thousands of letters and photographs that offer a unique insight in the lives of the forbears and family of Buddy Elias and Anne Frank. These documents and the everyday objects owned by the family are now located in the Jewish Museum Frankfurt. This loan gives expression to the family’s bond with the city of Frankfurt, from where they were once forced to flee. This photo by Barbara Klemm shows Buddy Elias and his wife Gerti in the living room of their home in Basel. The painting Opernplatz in Frankfurt by Jakob Nussbaum hangs above the sofa. Paintings and photographs are also part of the Family Frank Center and will be exhibited in the Jewish Museum Frankfurt from summer 2019 onwards.
