Pieprz-Szron family. Collection

Lazar Pieprz, born on 20 July 1911, and Lea Szron, born on 3 February 1914, were a Polish couple living in Antwerp, Belgium. They got married in Antwerp on 24 March 1937. Lazar worked in Antwerp as a diamond cleaver. On 14 November 1938, Lea gave birth to their son named Amnon Pieprz. During the Second World War, this Jewish family followed the anti-Jewish measures until they decided to flee the country in the second half of 1942 and managed to cross the the Swiss border. All three survived the war in Switzerland. This collection contains one wedding booklet of Lazar Pieprz and Lea Szron, and four membership cards of Antwerp diamond federations.
