Wolf, Max Egon, MUDr.

The personal archive of MUDr. Max Egon Wolf is a source for the knowledge of the Holocaust and the racial persecution of the Jewish population in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. The fonds contains documents from 1939-1941, when the Wolfs faced racial persecution. Using one family as an example, it is possible to trace specific interventions in the life of the Jewish population by the Protectorate authorities - e.g. the levying of special taxes or property registration. The archival material in the fonds also shows the efforts of the Wolfs and their relatives to escape persecution, e. g. negotiations on emigration, etc. Thus, the personal fonds can supplement the sources of an official nature with examples of specific human fates during the Holocaust and the racial persecution of the Jewish population. The fonds contains, among other things, Max Egon Wolf's personal documents from the years of 1900-1939 (birth certificate, marriage certificate, certificates of permanent residence, certificate of citizenship, certificate of completion of medical studies at the Faculty of Medicine in Prague, certificates of completion of professional courses and practice, membership card of the German Doctors' Association, certificate of resignation from the church) and correspondence. The fonds contains correspondence of the originator from 1939 with institutions and private individuals with whom Max Egon Wolf had discussions about the possibility of emigration (e.g. with the Co-ordinating Committee for Refugees, London; Ministry of Home Affairs, Canberra; Medical Council, Bankong, and Under-Secretary of State, London; Mc Cormick, E.J.; Rajawangsan, Phya). The fonds also contains the documents of Max Egon Waff's wife, Anna Johanna, including personal papers from 1903-1939 and tax receipts from 1937-1939. The fonds also contains the correspondence of Max Egon Woff's brother-in-law, Josef Steiner, and the brother of the originator, Willy Woff, with the Co-ordinating Committee for Refugees, London, from 1939. The fonds contains a letter from P. Pfeifer to the Central Office for Refugees from 1939. The fonds also contains the originator's own biography (b.d.) and documentation on the property affairs of the family of Max Egon Wolf and his relatives, including an inventory of the originator's property from 1939.
