Hate and intolerance are the catalysts for the destruction of
a family, a culture, and a nation.

A Hidden Dollhouse is More Than a Hidden Treasure for the Holocaust & Intolerance Museum of New Mexico

Kitchen and kitty by Ann Powers

In World War II millions of people went into hiding to escape the Nazis. And, so did a dollhouse.

The Holocaust and Intolerance Museum of New Mexico is honored to now be the permanent home of “Hidden Treasures” – an incredible exhibit showcasing a 158-year-old dollhouse hidden away during World War II, while its German-Jewish family owners fled to New Mexico for safety from Hitler’s regime.

The dollhouse dates back to 1853 in Bad-Homburg, Germany (near Frankfurt am Main) when its first room, a small kitchen with a table and meat block with cleaver, was created for Frederika Frohman, future wife of William Ilfeld. Five additional rooms were added for subsequent generations of girls: a living room for Frederika and William’s daughter Laura, a bedroom for Laura’s daughter Edith, a well-furnished kitchen, and the largest room for Edith’s daughter Lilo. It includes an old-fashioned coal stove, a waffle iron and bone cutlery. The fifth and final room, a bathroom, was created for Lilo’s daughter Lora in 1967, complete with furnishings from Germany.
