Ben Fainer was imprisoned at Blechhammer camp, where he worked in a metalwork factory. While there, he was able to secretly fashion a small metal bracelet on which he engraved his name and mother’s maiden name, Hannah Urman.
As a 14-year-old imprisoned in a satellite camp to Auschwitz in 1944, Ben Fainer crafted a bracelet. “It appears that he worked in a locksmith shop or in a metalworking shop while he was there,” Fainer’s daughter Sharon Berry told
St. Louis on the Air.
He engraved the metal with his name (and his mother’s surname, Urman), his ID number and some decorative elements. At that point, he had already been separated from his mother and siblings, all of whom would perish in the Holocaust.
