Description
When the Tennenbaums returned to their apartment in Złoczów, all that remained were the family's photographs, including a torn photograph of Leib Tennenbaum (Samuel's father). Czech guards caught the family when they attempted to cross into Germany (illegally with a guide) from Czechoslovakia. They agreed to let the family pass, but only if they surrendered their luggage, which held their precious photographs. Samuel refused to surrender their items. Upon opening a suitcase, the torn picture of Samuel's father lay at the top. The guard closed the lid and allowed them to pass with their photographs.
