Biographical materials include identification papers, student records, birth and marriage certificates, and a few business records for the Kurz family’s optical business. This series also includes some manuscript sheet music. Correspondence primarily consists of congratulatory telegrams on the occasion of Benjamin and Lillian Kurz’s marriage but also include prewar letters and postcards received by Benjamin, Diana, and Lillian Kurz and Moses Hellreich as well as postwar letters sent to Diana Kurz by Doriane Kurz. Photographs depict relatives and friends of Diana Kurz and her family as well as business travel in Egypt by Benjamin Kurz. Printed material includes a 1935 concert program, 1936 clippings from the Neues Wiener Tagblatt, and part of the July 8, 1940 issue of the New York World-Telegram documenting the arrival of their ship in America.
