Archival History

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Acquisition

Todd Singer, JD, and Dr. Kelley Singer donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Feb. 13, 2002. The donors, after purchasing Frey's 1942 registration questionnaire from the Lvov ghetto, did research to find out more about her life. Dr. Frey had been well-known for her work with gustatory sweating, an affliction now known as Frey's syndrome. The donors included their research into the life of Dr. Frey and of Frey's syndrome, as well as press clippings and correspondence which resulted from their research, into the collection.

Scope and Content

Consists of material regarding the life and legacy of Dr. Lucja Frey Gottesman, a Jewish female neurologist who probably perished in the Lvov ghetto in 1943. Also contains offical Russian post-war documents as well as issues of the "Gazeta Lwowska" from 1942-1943, and flyers which were posted in Lvov announcing the establishment of the ghetto.
