Acquisition

Dr. Barry Gaines donated this collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum on Oct. 3, 2007. His father, Gregori Ginzbrug, was originally from Genichesk.

Scope and Content

Consists of one article, entitled "Swimming in the Sea of Azov" by Barry Gaines, which was published in the spring 2006 issue of "Dialogue: A Journal of Mormon Thought."

Includes ten photographs (with 10 enlargements of these photographs) taken of a handwritten names list of 244 Jews from Genichesk who were executed by the Nazis in 1941.
