United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Phil Schreiber
Phil Schreiber, a former trustee of Congregation Adath Israel, donated this material to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2015.
Scope and Content
Consists of one folder of envelopes, postcards, and programs produced by Congregation Adath Israel of Woodbridge, NJ, as part of their Holocaust commemoration. The envelopes, many of which carry WWII commemorative postage stamps, commemorate the rescue of the Danish Jews in 1943, the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps in 1995, the 60th anniversary of the sailing of the MS St. Louis. The postcards include artwork of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, commissioned upon the Museum's opening, and the programs were produced for commemorative events at the synagogue. The artwork on the envelopes was produced by Seymour Nussenbaum, who had been a member of the "Ghost Army" during World War II.
