Schultz and Bodnar families papers
Document
The collection documents the Holocaust-era experiences of the Schultz and Bodnar families, both of Hungary. The collection includes biographical material such as education, identification, and immigration documents; wartime correspondence between John and Edith (née Schultz) Bodnar in the United States and their families in Budapest; and pre-war family photographs. The collection also documents the death of Zoltan Schultz, Edith’s brother, who was killed on a death march to Mauthausen in April 1945, buried in a shallow grave, and reinterred in May 1945 by orders of the United States Army in a Catholic cemetery in Sankt Pankraz. Material includes documents, letters, and photographs found with Zoltan’s remains after he was killed and the Austrian police report regarding the disinterment. Series 1 documents the Schultz and Spiegler families. Biographical material includes genealogy research; education, identification, and immigration documents; Edith Schultz’s autograph book and a personal narrative about her wartime experiences; Laura Schultz’s letter of protection from the Swiss Embassy in Budapest; restitution claims; documents, letters, and photographs found with Zoltan Schultz’s remains after he was killed and the Austrian police report regarding the disinterment; concert programs and sheet music of compositions likely written by Zoltan. Correspondence includes letters written to Edith in the United States from Laura and Zoltan before he was sent to a forced-labor camp in 1942; letters to Edith from her friend Edit Laki who perished in the Holocaust; and letters from Laura written to Zoltan while he was in a forced-labor camp. Photographs primarily contain pre-war photographs of the Schultz family as well as the Spiegler family (Edith’s mother Laura’s family). There is also a photograph of the Kilman family, who were friends of the Spieglers. Additionally, there are two photograph albums that primarily document the Schultz and Spiegler families. The albums contains several depictions of Zoltan’s time in a forced-labor camp in Nagykáta, Hungary. The born-digital material contains audio, video, photographs, and a speech documenting Anita Skolnick (née Bodnar), Peter Bodnar, and Paul Bodnar’s 2015 trip to Austria to follow the path of Zoltan’s death march, receive his belongings from the Austrian government, and to unveil a memorial plaque at Mauthausen. Series 2 documents the Holocaust-era experiences of the Bodnar family. Biographical material includes education, identification, and immigration documents; a catalog from Eugene Bodnar’s radio repair business; and genealogy research. Correspondence contains letters received and sent by John Bodnar in the United States. The bulk are letters received by his parents Eugene and Katherine, and his brother György and his wife Klári. Photographs document pre-war family life in Budapest.
