The collection documents the post-war experiences of Pauline Charatan (née Margulies), originally of Busk, Poland (Busk, Ukraine), who survived the Holocaust living in Gleisdorf, Austria under a false-identity, and Joseph Charatan, originally of Lwów, Poland (Lviv, Ukraine), who escaped the Janowska concentration camp and survived hidden in a bunker until his liberation in 1944. The collection includes birth certificates, naturalization certificates, Pauline and Joseph’s marriage certificate, Pauline’s vaccination certificate, restitution paperwork, a commemorative booklet from the USS General C.H. Muir, and a small amount of correspondence.
