Acquisition

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Kimberly Trabucco

Kimberly Trabucco donated these materials to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in April 2011.

Scope and Content

Consists of photocopies of notarized translations and a letter attesting to the wartime experiences of Genowefa Dobrzawska Marcjan-Gasior, originally of Boryslawa, Poland. During the war, Mrs. Gasior and her family hid a Jewish man named Naftula Strauser (later Marian Stasinski) and a Jewish woman named Zofia Lawoczkin in their home. The collection includes a copy of a letter written by Mrs. Gasior and translations of the statements of wartime neighbors, Danuta Wesolowska and Janina Ziemianska, both of whom knew that the Gasiors were hiding Jews.
