Document
The collection documents the Holocaust-era experiences of the Meyerstein family, originally of Bremke, Germany, including Werner Meyerstein and his father Hermann Meyerstein’s flight from Göttingen, Germany in 1939 to London, Werner and his wife Olga Sofie’s immigration to Sosúa, Dominican Republic in 1940, and his father’s immigration with his second wife Emma Marx to Sosúa in 1942. The collection also documents the experiences of Werner’s second wife, Ruth Echt, whose family fled Gross-Kuhren (Primorye, Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia) in 1939 for Shanghai, where they survived the Holocaust. The collection includes family history and research, clippings, birth and death certificates, driver’s licenses, a butcher’s certificate, identification papers from Germany and the Dominican Republic, Erna Echt’s German passport, restitution paperwork, and a small amount of correspondence to Werner. Also included are primarily post-war family photographs from Sosúa, and identification papers of Ruth Echt from Shanghai.
