  3. Papers re 'Gerechtigkeit', an Austrian anti-Nazi publication

    The collection consists of 4 letters from the offices of the publishers of Gerechtigkeit, an Austrian anti-racist publication. In addition there is an apparently unrelated note about the Austrian Office, a body supported by the bulk of Austrian liberals, Austrian legitimists and some Austrian socialists. The letters in this collection are also evidence of the organisers' desire to create an international anti-nazi movement. Moritz Zalman, responds to a letter at 735/1, because his colleague, Irene Harand is in Poland. The letter itself is addressed to a professor in Amsterdam. The letter at...

  4. Jessie Nicholson: correspondence

    This collection of a correspondence consists mostly of letters written by a school teacher, Hellmut Lange from Chemnitz, Saxony, to an English woman, Miss Jessie Nicholson in South London between 1933 and August 1939. Whilst precious little is known about the recipient of the letters, they provide a valuable insight into the mentality of an ordinary German whose nationalist and antisemitic leanings develop into full-blown Nazi sympathy by the outbreak of war.It is evident from the first letter that they had communicated previously and that judging from the familiar tone of the correspondenc...

A note states that the first two pages were missing and that these had been supplied at a later date by a different depositor (G. Fleming).

  10. Bing family: papers

    This collection comprises four separate deposits of material regarding different members of the same family.The first deposit (867/1) consists of copies of 3 letters written by a woman in a collection centre (Sammlunglager) in Berlin in June 1943. She was subsequently deported to Auschwitz where she almost certainly died. The letters are significant because they offer a rare insight into conditions in such an establishment and document the growing level of despair amongst those who were transported. In the final letter she seems certain of her fate- that theirs will be the last “Polentransp...

  13. Werner Rüdenberg: correspondence

    The correspondence consists of bundles which contain carbon copy letters of Werner and Anni Rüdenberg arranged chronologically by date of authorship with original letters from the respective correspondents by date of receipt. This is a relatively large collection of correspondence, a much of which covers Germany during the Nazi period. Yet, according to a sample reading, it appears that very little, if any, of the content documents the experiences of this Jewish family under the Nazis. It seems to be concerned overwhelmingly with the affairs of the family and friends and the experiences of ...
