Scope and Content

Consists of one bound diary, in German and English, describing the life experiences of Dr. Max Cohnreich, originally of Berlin, Germany. In the diary, written mainly in 1939 and addressed to his grandchildren, Dr. Cohnreich describes his life in Germany, his emigration experiences, and his feelings on the current situation in Europe. After his death in 1949, his granddaughter, Margaret (Peggy) Stolowitz, updated the diary to include major events in the family. Also includes one article, written by Michael Evans, entitled "Coburg--The Case History of a Nazi Town." Mrs. Stolowitz's father, Max Lowenherz, was a native of Coburg, Germany.
