东北大学学生梅琳娜·科伊在整理家族遗物时，发现了一只属于她曾祖父的旧行李笱，带领她揭开了大屠杀历史中一段此前不为人知的篇章。

行李笱内的文件、照片和私人物品表明，她的曾祖父与捷克犹太作曲家吉登·克莱因有所关联。克莱因于1945年在奥斯维辛集中营遭难。

科伊在校园讲座上展示了她的研究成果，描述了通过实物遗迹拼凑历史的情感历程。她的研究此后引起了大屠杀学者和档案学家的广泛关注。

Northeastern University student Melina Coy was going through family belongings when she discovered an old suitcase belonging to her great-grandfather that led her to a previously unknown chapter of Holocaust history.

Documents, photographs, and personal effects inside the suitcase pointed to her great-grandfather’s connections to Gideon Klein, a Czech-Jewish composer who perished at Auschwitz in 1945.

Coy presented her research at a campus lecture, where she described the emotional journey of piecing together history through physical artifacts. Her work has since attracted attention from Holocaust scholars and archivists.

The research examines evidence that British forces may have knowingly sent smallpox-infected individuals toward American lines, contributing to devastating outbreaks among Continental Army troops.

Harvard Medical School professor John Tremblay notes that understanding this history is critical to appreciating how disease has shaped military outcomes throughout history.
