    Overview

    Collection Summary
    The collection consists of artifacts, documents, and photographs relating to the experience of Roza Herszenberg Kape and Anna Toronczyk and their family in Łódź, Poland, before, during, and after the Holocaust, Anna's experiences as a midwife in displaced persons camps, and the family's immigration to the United States in the 1950-60s. Some of these materials may be combined into a single collection in the future.
    Provenance
    The collection was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2005 by Dr. Salomea Kape, the daughter of Roza Herszenberg and the niece of Anna Toronczyk.
