- Provenance
- A relative of Mr. Rozanski, Dan A. Oren, M.D., of Rockville, Maryland, informed United States Holocaust Memorial MuseumA in Aug. 1992 that he had turned over the memoir copy to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Oral History Department two years before. Apparently, Mr Rozanski was not contacted by that department, which finally turned it over to United States Holocaust Memorial MuseumA in July 1992. Mr. Rozanski signed a donor agreement the following month.
