M5-6-livia-frankel

This is a page from Livia's Romanian passport, or "card of persona", which she got in Sweden in 1948. At the same time, the city of Stockholm’s crises committee gave Livia coupons – also called "purchase cards" – for coffee, butter and soap. Livia comments the photo: "This is the first photography taken of me after the liberation. You can see that my hair had started to grow. When the photography was taken, I had started eating again and the body, as well as the face, became swollen. That is why it is difficult for me to recognise myself in the picture.”
