Erica's parents and younger brother were able to emigrate to the United States later that year. Also includes a short memoir written by Erica in 1997 as well as copies of her personal papers. Also includes a 2002 article by Dr. Erwin Tepper entitled "50 Children," with photographs and documents regarding Erica's transport and the other children in the group.
