The Julius Goldstein papers consist of correspondence, personnel files, photographs, printed materials, and a scrapbook documenting Goldstein’s military service with the 64th Fighter Wing in Italy, France, and Germany during World War II and his visit to the Dachau concentration camp two days after the camp’s liberation. 64th Fighter Wing correspondence includes memoranda documenting missions, actions, and procedures of the 64th Fighter Wing. This series also includes four letters from Julius Goldstein to his wife dated May 1945 that describe his visit to the Dachau concentration camp two days following its liberation and his opinions on the complicity of German civilians in World War II and the Holocaust. Additional records documenting the 64th Fighter Wing can be found in the scrapbook. Julius Goldstein’s personnel file primarily consists of orders but also includes medical records, memoranda, reports, forms, and authorizations documenting Goldstein’s movements, accomplishments, promotions, awards, and commendations during World War II. Additional personnel records documenting Goldstein’s military career can be found in the scrapbook. Two loose photographic portraits depict Julius Goldstein during training and overseas. Many more photographs can be found in the scrapbook.
