Janet Cavanagh donated letters her mother, Doris Barry, received, to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in March 2012.

Scope and Content

Consists of letters, photographs, and propaganda pieces sent from Otti Hahn, of Chemnitz, Germany, to Doris Berry, of Washington, DC, between 1933 and 1936. Otti, a German teenager, wrote to her pen pal Doris about her life and about the activities of her BDM (Bund Deutscher Mädel) enclosing photographs of the group and pieces of Nazi propaganda. Includes a postcard commemorating the one year anniversary of January 30th, 1933, and two flyers distributed by the "Fichte Association (Fichte-Bund)" (Deutscher Fichte-Bund) entitled "Hitler's Appeal against the madness of Versailles" and "France-a menace to Germany's safety."
