Ring and necklace discovered at Auschwitz

Earlier this week workers at the Auschwitz Museum discovered a golden ring and necklace wrapped up and hidden inside of a mug. The mug had originally been confiscated by the Nazis at the camp and was hidden for over 70 years. According to a press release, the museum plans on storing the ring and necklace and presenting the items in such a manner that reflects how the owner attempted to preserve them for generations.
