Archival History

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Acquisition

Claudia Stein Donnelly donated her mother's memoir to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Jan. 12, 2004. Mrs. Helga Stein passed away on Dec. 11, 2002, one year to the day after finishing this memoir.

Scope and Content

Contains one memoir, 21 pages, detailing the pre-war, wartime, and post-war experiences of Helga Stein. As the only child of an Aryan father (who passed away when she was three) and a Jewish mother, she details her experiences in Berlin as a child under the Nazi regime. After her family and friends were arrested and deported, Mrs. Stein, then a young adult, hid in a bombed out apartment building in Berlin for the entirety of the war. She immigrated to the United States in 1953.
