Acquisition
Max Frank donated his collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives in Mar. 1994.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of eight xerographic, typescript pages from the International Tracing Service, sent to Max Frank, of Riverdale, New York, following a request he had made in 1993 for information about his family members. Includes information about his sister, Marta Mayer (née Frank, 1908-1942), who was killed at Auschwitz; Frank's brother-in-law, Hermann Mayer (1897-1942), who like his wife died at Auschwitz after having been interned at Les Milles and Drancy; and Frank's maternal grandparents, Leopold (1850-1941) and Julchen (1860-1942) Löwenstein, who died at Gurs and Auschwitz, respectively. The letters also give instructions on how to file for death certificates for each of these family members.
