- Provenance
- The donor collected correspondence from fellow veterans, newsclippings, and other materials from a variety of sources. In 1992, he compiled the materials, adding page numbers, a forward, annotations, and an index, to yield a volume of approximately 160 pages that originally bore a title page with the title "World War II: American servicemen (POWs) in stalags, forced marches, death marches and separated because of religion, color or nationality and forced to go to special concentration camps instead of stalags." He sent photocopies of the scrapbook to Susan Cohen of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Oral History Department and John Ferrell of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives in Sept. 1992.
