Acquisition

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Hinda Saul

Hinda Saul donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. She added the facsimile booklets to the collection in 2015.

Scope and Content

Consists of one folder of typed English language translations of letters sent from Nochum Berman in Šeduva (Lithuania), Lithuania, to Hinde Zarachaite (Zarkey), who immigrated to the United States in 1937. The letters are dated 1937-1940, and the later letters describe the beginning of the persecution of the Jews in Lithuania. Nochum Berman most likely perished in August 1941 as part of a roundup in Seduva. Also includes three facsimile autograph books, based on Hinda Saul's own autograph books, dated from 1934 in Widze (now Vidzy, Belarus) and 1936-1937 in Šeduva, and after her arrival in the United States.
