Acquisition

Cathy Gotteszmann Salomon donated her collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Jul. 3, 2000.

Scope and Content

Consists of 15 photographs depicting the wartime and post-war experiences of the Gotteszmann family of Paris, France, consisting of Eugene and Helene Honig Gotteszmann and their daughter, Catherine. Eugene Gotteszmann was a foreign (Hungarian) military volunteer with the French army in 1940 when he was arrested. He spent the war in the Magdeburg work camp. Helene Gotteszmann hid in Paris with false papers, and Catherine (Cathy) hid with the Gomez family in Puiseaux until France was liberated. The family was reunited in 1945 and emigrated to Venezuela in 1955.
