Archival History

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Acquisition

Harold Basser, the husband of Susi Popper, donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives on May 7, 2005.

Scope and Content

Consists of documents and photographs regarding the experiences of the Popper family, originally of Vienna, Austria. The family was forced to flee to the United States in 1938 in order to escape imprisonment. Includes attempts by Olga Popper to secure restitution for family members lost in the war as well as Austrian pensions after the death of her husband, Julius, in 1947. Also includes the family's pre-war and wartime papers, including passports, and photographs taken in pre-war Vienna (including photographs taken of Julius and Olga's daughter, Suse).
