Eli Pfefferkorn papers
Document
The collection primarily consists of writings and research materials related to Holocaust survivor and scholar Eli Pfefferkorn, originally of Radzyń Podlaski, Poland. The bulk of the collection consists of articles and clippings, notes, and correspondence regarding several Holocaust-related topics, including the Claims Conference, Elie Wiesel, and the development of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. Also included are project proposals and drafts of manuscripts, including Pfefferkorn’s unpublished manuscript on Elie Wiesel entitled “The Kaleidoscopic Persona of Elie Wiesel,” and drafts of his memoir “The Muselmann at the Water Cooler.” Personal and biographical material primarily concerns Pfefferkorn’s education at Brown University, employment matters, and restitution claims.
