Paulette Daser collection

Documents and correspondence illustrating the experiences of Piroska Schwartzova [donor] born in 1924 Negrovo, Czechoslovakia (present day Ukraine) and moved to Belgium in July 1938, but was unable to return to Negrovo; materials include identification cards for Piroska in Belgium and later, Southern France, where she was forced to flee in an effort to escape Nazism. Also included are postcards and letters from her parents and family who were unable to escape, and were eventually deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, where they are presumed to have perished.
