Acquisition

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Alice Hoffman

Dr. Alice Hoffman donated her husband's collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2013.

Scope and Content

Consists of correspondence, a clipping, and copies of testimony related to Dr. Howard Hoffman. As an American soldier, he was a member of the 102nd Infantry Division and witnessed the aftermath of the Gardelegen atrocity. The collection includes a copy of Hoffman's recollections and information about his corrections to the exhibit text in 1978 at Yad Vashem which had misidentified Gardelegen as a concentration camp. Also includes text written by Hoffman's wife, Dr. Alice Hoffman, about her husband's experiences.
