In July 2011 the Red Cross Message correspondence was discovered between Friedel Löwenhardt in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and her sister Klara Ikenberg-Löwenhardt in Westerbork Transit Camp in the occupied Netherlands. This allowed the author to trace little milestones in the development of Klara's son Kurt during the first and only three years of his life.

In November-December 2012 an exhibition on Kurt Ikenberg was shown at the Sparkasse Paderborn-Detmold, Adenauerstraße 60 at Altenbeken, Germany - the spot where his grandmother Minna's house used to be.
