Blanka (Blima) Rock (born in Sedziszow, Poland in 1923) received this autograph book as a gift from her aunt in 1930. In it, she collected autographs from friends and family in Germany and Poland between 1930 and 1938. Included in the book is a poem inscribed by Rock?s friend and classmate, Esther Seidmann which translates from the German as:

As a Jewess you were born,
As a Jewess be!
Jews never get lost,
Jews will eventually also be free!
