Archival History

Acquisition

Corine M. Coon donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in August 2006. Richard Mandelik was her paternal uncle.

Scope and Content

Consists of letters to and from Richard (Rico) Mandelik, while he was imprisoned in the German auxiliary jail in Prague, Czechoslovakia from 1939-1940 and letters, on concentration camp stationery, from Sachsenhausen and Oranienburg from 1941-1942. Mr. Mandelik most likely perished in Oranienburg.
