Acquisition

The collection was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2007 by Richard Weilheimer.

Scope and Content

The Richard Weilheimer collection includes biographical materials, correspondence, a watercolor booklet hand-made in Gurs, photographic materials and a prayer book documenting the Weilheimer, Wetzler, and Stern families from Ludwigshafen and Mannheim, Germany. Documents reflect the families’ prewar lives in Germany, their deportation to the Gurs concentration camp in southern France in 1940, Richard and Ernst Weilheimer’s relocation to a children’s home and immigration to the United States in 1942, Kurt and Nelly Stern’s earlier immigration to the United States in 1937, and the memorialization of their family members killed in the Holocaust.
