Lilienthal and Fraenkel families collection

Overview

Collection Summary

The collection consists of a passport case, correspondence, and documents relating to the experiences of Eugen Lilienthal during the Holocaust when he was imprisoned in Theresienstadt ghetto-labor camp and, after the Holocaust, from Deggendorf displaced persons camp, as well as documents related to the emigration of Max and Margo Fraenkel from Germany to the United States prior to the war. 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 2016 and 2018 by Ronald Frankel, the grandson of Eugen Lilienthal and the son of Max and Margot Fraenkel.
