Scope and Content

Consists of one memoir, undated, entitled, "Alberto Cernogoraz; 1914-1946: Holocaust Survivor," by Genoveffa Cernogoraz Cook. Mrs. Cook writes about her childhood in pre-war and wartime Italy and her memories of her brother, Alberto, who was arrested in 1943 as a member of the Italian Underground and was presumed dead.
