Acquisition
Karola Loeb sent the materials in this accession to Susan Goldstein of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collections and Acquisitions Department in 1992, and that department transferred them to USHRIA in Jan 1993, retaining one item, a German passport, that the donor had also sent.
Scope and Content
The bulk of the collection relates to Chaim Beer Joseph and Pauline Franziska (Francis) Joseph, husband and wife. Included are family papers (such as marriage and death certificates); documents relating to the Josephs' efforts to emigrate to the United States from Germany, Mrs. Joseph's new life after emigrating to the US following the sudden death of her husband in Germany, Mrs. Joseph's successful efforts to obtain restitution from West Germany, and Mrs. Joseph's payments to American welfare authorities in return for their assistance to her after her arrival in America. Also included are documents relating to the postwar search by the donor's husband for his uncle, Eugen Weis, and to subsequent information that Weis had been deported from Dachau to Riga in 1941.
