Acquisition

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Lucy Trentadue

Lucy Trentadue donated this document to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2013. Her husband was stationed in Germany in the late 1950s and early 1960s and obtained this document there. The author and agency that created this document are unknown, but both were presumably part of the United States military forces stationed in Germany during the post-war period.
