The Louis Cavagnaro papers consist of correspondence and subject files and lists compiled by Cavagnaro while preparing his unfinished book, "Inside the Gates of Hell."

Correspondence and subject files include correspondence, research materials, clippings, personal narratives, and drafts of book chapters. Lists include concentration camps, survivors, liberators, organizations, glossaries, and indexes.
