    Overview

    Collection Summary
    Outtakes of the Sommer Family home movies shot by Louis and Harry Sommer when they visited their family in Humenné, Slovakia from Omaha, Nebraska in March 1932. The five original film reels are labeled: (1) Around Before LS Europe Trip (Film ID 2988); (2) My Trip to Europe - March 29, 1932 (Film ID 412.1); (3) My Trip to Europe Continued (Film ID 412.2); (4) My Trip to Europe Continued (Film ID 413); (5) Louis Sommer's Family Abroad (Film ID 2989). Nearly all 2,000 Jews from Humenné died in the Holocaust. Bernard and Emery Klein rescued the films from their cousin, Beatrice Sommer, in the 1950s. They shared it with The University of Michigan-Dearborn around 1987 and donated the original 16mm films to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2012.
