Archival History

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Acquisition

Vera Rolfe donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives on Oct. 8, 1999. As the Museum was unable to locate the donor and the donor specifically stated she would like to donate the material, the collection was accessioned on Mar. 23, 2005.

Scope and Content

Contains mainly post-war documents regarding the personal history of Maria Kauderova-Fordham, originally of Czechoslovakia. She was liberated from Auschwitz at the age of 20 and eventually settled in Spain. The collection was donated by a woman who helped to care for Mrs. Fordham in the last months of her life, and therefore the life story of Mrs. Fordham is difficult to determine.
