Treasure hidden at the bottom of the cup for more than 70 years

Gold rings and necklaces were carefully wrapped with canvas before hiding under the false bottom of a cup in the largest concentration camp in Nazi Germany.

According to CNN, the staff at the Auschwitz Museum in Oświęcim, Poland, found gold rings and necklaces in the fake bottom of a glass earlier last week. They were among the last assets of a citizen taken to Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest concentration camp established by Nazi Germany during World War II.

The test showed that the gold ring was created in Poland between 1921 and 1931. (Photo: Auschwitz Museum).

"The act of concealing valuables on the one hand reflects the victims' vigilance against the looting nature of the action taken to the concentration camp. On the other hand, it shows that many Jewish families regularly sacrifice. hope they will need these items to survive, " said Piotr Cywinski, museum director.

Nazi Germany often told the Jewish victims that they were taken to concentration camps to relocate and began life at their new home. The expelled people are allowed to carry some luggage. The fascists believe that this luggage contains the most valuable assets of expelled families, according to Cywinski.

Treasures were found while museum staff checked the 12,000 glazed kitchenware collection. According to the museum's announcement, the ring and necklace will be preserved in a way that reflects the owner's concealment, to demonstrate the fate of the deported Jewish people to concentration camps.
