The collection consists of two children's books, "Mon Petit Trott" and "Contes et Légendes Du Grand Siècle," taken by Gaston Schmir from a school library in Brive-la-Gaillarde, France, in Apr. 1943. Gaston Schmir left the books in Haute-Savoie, France, before crossing into Switzerland, and he returned and recovered them after World War II.
