On this day, 20 July 1943, two Jewish members of the Waldkommando work unit at the Sobibor concentration camp attacked their Ukrainian guard and encouraged other members of the unit to escape. The Waldkommando was composed of 20 Polish Jews and 20 Dutch Jews, and it supplied wood for the crematorium by cutting down trees and digging out the stumps. Shlomo Podchlebnik and Josef Kopf initiated the breakout with a knife Podchlebnik had in his boot. A separate group of Polish Jews decided to flee on foot while eight guards were eating lunch on this same day. Several of them - Podchlebnik, Kopf, Zindel Honigman, Josef Freitag, Chaim Korenfeld, Abraham Wang, and Aron Licht - were able successfully escape. Josef Kopf and Aron Licht were murdered by Polish anti-Semites in separate incidents after their escape. The others survived the duration of the war. https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1171030456415436/?type=3

Cartouche-shaped box
The cartouche-shaped lid carries the name of Tutankhamun, executed in the most handsome hieroglyphs, made up of ebony and stained ivory. Less grand, but still elegantly formed, hieroglyphs are used for the many texts which are incised and filled with blue paint on the upper rim of the lid, surrounding the cartouche, and in three bands on the body of the box.
They all include extended titularies of the king with a wealth of epithets establishing his authority at home and his power over foreign lands.
From the Tomb of Tutankhamun (KV62). Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 61490
