Bernheim (1848-1945) to Mr. R. C. Tway provides an example of one Jewish German American's views of World War II. He argues that the United States "must enter the war in self-dense on the side of England, and do so quickly." He addresses his American sons' service in World War I for the sake of democracy and anger at the aid given to Germany afterward. He states that "in return we got this undefensible system of thievery and slavery which the world now faces and must continue to face until Hitler, Mussolini, and all their German slaves and associates are destroyed."

Text Any textual data included in the document I was born 9/13/1909 in Haganau, France (Alsace), which is located at the eastern border with Germany - This little corner of France has through centuries changed hands from French to German & vice-versa. After WWI, I got French citizenship back as did my parents & grandparents, as we had been for generations residents of Alsace - my father was a merchant and I lived a sheltered life - our little town offered cultural programs, classical music, plays, opera, and our schools gave us a solid background When I married in 1930 we lived in Paris & has our own business - things went smoothy until the mid 30's when animus voices Where heard from Germany. Our 2nd son (Hubert) was born in Aug 1938 in Strasbourg - when at the age of 3 weeks we had to leave because Hitler invaded a part of Austria - British Prime Minister Chamberlain yet appeared and Hitler went at his comquering ways - one year later after the invasion of Poland were refugees aagin, this time to a place south of Paris - We had French soldiers quatered in our loft and waited... in May 1940 when the German tanks envaded Belgium, Holland, & France we saw the "famous four" whose Northern Parts came by in horse drawn wagons ect. until we ourselves fled to central & southern France. Food was scarce & conditions tough - until in May 1941 we were able to leave; the country was already closed, the northern part in the hands of the nazis & we were lucky to be able to leave by Spain & Portugal - In Louisville we were met by relatives & started life anew - speaking the language was a great help but still it was not easy - very torn away from family & friends & them not being able to communicate with them for 3 1/2 years - As the news reached us in 1945 - 46 in spite of hardship we endured we felt very fortunate So many family members & friends, young and old had disappeared in the gas chambers of Auschwitz, some killed by firing squads on just wild Nazis in the streets (Lolottes husband). So after the war I used my ability of speaking 3 languages & started helping former D.P.'s to get reestablished here - taking them to job interviews, doctors, etc. and acting as interpreter - Also helped new French war brides get over berieveness by organizing get togethers - This organization is still growing strong - I feel as I grow older, as long as I am able & want to be helpful to others & there are numerous ways - chauffeuring elderly, talking to to _______. Acitivities at the temple, volunteering in general give me my greatest satisfactions - I like to be with people, people of different ages, people who do things, make things happen Senior citizen groups are very important to me. They help to put "Life to our years, not just years to our lives" We also try to look forward - reminiscing is pleasant sometimes but planning for the future keeps your mind active, but the most important thing to do for Sr. citizens is live today.

SPECIAL EVENTS PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Dear Members, We wish to thank all our friends and members of Club 60 and want you to know how much you have all done to boost our morale at the time of our accident. It is indeed encouraging and a great help for a speedy recovery. Hope you all keep well and that we have a nice season all together. Ann & Jack CENTER NEWS Mrs. Rae Spitz, who does so much for all of us, was fittingly honored for her devoted service by Mizrachi. She was the recipient of many heartfelt messages and tokens of appreciation on the big day. We join with Mizrachi in paying tribute to a grand person! Club 60 extends a warm greeting to new Center staff member, Alan Kottler. Alan, his wife Marjorie, and daughter Lynne are welcomed newcomers to Louisville. On July 20th in place of the Four Courts picnic that we give every year we had some inside entertainment for the residents. The Club 60 chorus sang a number of songs accompanied at the piano by Debbie Franklin, much to the pleasure of those present. There was dancing, singing, and hand clapping and we were thanked and invited to come back again. Renee Hoffman also played, to the joy of the guests. On Sept. 16th, on Senior Citizens Day during the Ky. State Fair, a bus load and some in cars went to the Fair where we met with other Senior Citizen clubs from all over the city and thruout the state. Contests were held for the club who came the furthest, the man with the baldest head, the oldest woman, the oldest man, the one with the most children, married the longest, the one with the most grandchildren, etc. Club 60 Rhythm Band entertained and as usual we got a big ovation. Community singing was led by Jack Gilbert. We ate our lunch and then were ready to leave for the Jewish Community Center. Before leaving some of us stopped and talked to the "Big Giant" and he promised to come to see us at Club 60. (Continued on page 2) �Special Events continued 2 On Nov. 3rd the Club 60 Rhythm Band visited the Twinbrook Nursing Home on Dutchmans Lane where they entertained the residents. As the sound of our music drifted thru the halls and rooms they came walking and in wheel chairs until the room was filled. One man, who seemed hardly able to walk, got up and tried to dance. We were thanked profusely by all, and asked again and again to come back soon. On Sept. 22nd in place of the usual monthly social, Club 60 had a box supper. 95 members attended. A delicious box supper, served at $1.00 to each member with the balance subsidized by Club 60, was enjoyed by all. It was to have been held outdoors but because of the rain was held in B2. Bingo was played and prizes given. Spontaneous singing and dancing and general enjoyment went on all evening until, all too soon, the evening was over. Hullaballoo - French Lick, Ind. By Gert McInteer On Sunday, Oct. 24th, 23 members of Club 60 set forth on what turned out to be a very pleasant sojourn for two nights and three days in the beautiful surroundings of French Lick, Ind. The highlight of our entertainment was a command performance by our very own Jack Gilbert and Isadore Kolber, which would take top billing in any Broadway show. The "Hospitality Room" with Debbie at the piano was a "fun center" for the trip. An enjoyable time was had by all, and those participating are eagerly looking forward to a repetition of the same. TOPICS OF INTEREST I'm sure you’ve all heard of the famous author, Sholom Aleichim, but did you know that his real name was Sholom Rabinovitz, His pen name,of course, means "Peace to You" or "How do you do". This beloved man was born in Pereyslaw, a town in the Ukraine. He died in N.Y. in 1916 at the age of 57. His grave in Brooklyn has become a shrine that many Jews visit each year. Years ago when Sholom Aleichim came to N.Y., Mark Twain was among the first to visit him. "I wanted to meet you" he said "because I understand that I am the American Sholom Aleichim". He wrote some 300 stories, 5 novels, many plays and a number of other works in Yiddish, his native tongue. His writings are permeated with a genuine and wise love of people and a fine, juicy humor. Selma Friedman SPECIAL ITEM To the Editors of "The Voice of Club 60" Wish to compliment you on your wonderful news bulletin. I started to read and could not put it down until all was read from cover to cover. Lucille M. Smith THE INQUIRING REPORTER QUESTION: What are the objectives of the Greater Louisville Council of Senior Citizens Clubs? ANSWER: Is Kolber, Council President The long range purpose of the Greater Louisville Senior Citizens Council that was recently organized in our city, is, among other things, to help improve the social and financial status of the Senior Citizens in our community. We hope that with the cooperation of all the Senior Citizen’s clubs, to formulate plans whereby we can get the necessary information to enable us to act in the capacity of a counseling and referral unit. Through the assistance of the Health and Welfare organization along with the able guidance of Mrs. Eugene Alexander and Mr. Arthur Kling, and by adhering to old slogan that in unity there is strength, we should succeed in obtaining our objectives. �3 WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS Club 60 welcomes the following new members.

Jacques Wolff was born Jan. 10, 1903 the oldest of 5 sons of Arthur Wolff and his wife Aline Levy in the small town of Barr, Alsace (France) at the foot of the Vosges mountains. During World War I he helped his father in the latter’s wholesale grain business after school hours. He inherited from his father the love of the great out­ doors and remembers still the 6 hour hikes he took with him and his younger brothers up to the mountain tops, from where they enjoyed breath taking views for miles and miles around over the beautiful Rhine Valley. He graduated from high school at age 16 and in Nov. 1918 went to Paris to a business college and lived there with relatives. Back to Strasbourg, the big city where his parents had moved in the meantime, to provide a better education for his brothers, Jacques was drafted in the French Army where he soon became Master Sergeant. After his military service he went to work for an international grain co. in Antwerp (Belgium), where he spent 2 interesting years . Mary Wasserman in memory of Max Benjamin. Joe & Gertrude Davidson to be with the members. Jennie Vine for her birthday. Rene and Paul Leibreich for her return from the hospital. Rae Solzman for the recovery of Hyman. Mrs. Max Lipski made a donation because she was so thrilled to be with us at our meeting and seeing the wonderful work we do. Lucile Smith made a donation for the lovely card we sent her for her birthday. In 1926 Jacques went to Paris with his brother Albert, where they founded a wholesale and manufacturing steel drum business. At the same time their father and another brother also operated a similar business in Strasbourg. The Paris plant was 1/2 mile from the Le Bourget Airport, where Lindberg was to land after his historic flight. In 1930 Jacques went back to his home­ land, Alsace, to get an old sweetheart and take her back to Paris with him as his wife -- her name is Denise — and they have shared the same roof ever since. The wedding was quite an affair, as weddings used to be in Alsace when 2 old prominent families merged. 4 rabbis and 4 cantors attended the ceremony and Continued on page 4 �Profile Continued dinners, as did 300 friends and relatives. The young couple would have lived "happily ever after” but the neighbor across the French border thought otherwise. From 1936 to 38 were anxious years, and one could not help but fear what Hitler’s next move would be. In order to provide a haven for his whole family Jacques found for them a big villa in a remote village, near Chartres (France) far from railroad and industry. Just in time, for in 1938 before he could take them there, he was called in the Franch Infantry. His parents, aunt, 2 younger brothers, his wife, Denise, and 2 sons (the youngest 4 weeks old) spent anxious weeks there. For a short while he went back to work in Paris until late ’39 when Poland was over­ run and France went to war. Back went the whole family to the country place, which during the year had served as week end retreat (located l00 miles south-west of Paris.) This time all 5 brothers were drafted, 3 of them near the Maginot-Line. The 2nd youngest, was a doctor, who just had finished medical school and the youngest in Officer Cand. School. (By the grace of God all 5 came back alive this time.) In 1940 the 2 older ones were lucky to escape after several months in German prisoner camps. During the retreat Master Sergeant Jacques Wolff, the oldest of the 5 brothers was wounded on the road, by the same bomb which killed some of his buddies 2 yards away. He hitchhiked (at night) after leaving a deserted hospital, for 400 miles by truck and by foot, through spreading Nazi tank divisions. When he reached the Alp Mountains he joined a newly formed army unit which fought back the Nazi Army and stopped them temporarily. Near Grenoble (France). Of course, not without tremendous losses of human lives. Armistice came and after the fall of France he got in touch with the family through a cousin who lived in Southern France, and who served as liaison. Just then his uncle, the late Sol Levy of Louisville, Ky. U.S. of blessed memory, had undertaken steps to bring his whole family to this country. By 1941 the affidavits arrived for 13 members of the family, cosigned by Dr. Rauch, our beloved friend and rabbi, by Barry Bingham and Joseph Scholz, (Mayor at that time.) Unfortunately Jacques mother, who had been very ill the last year passed away 2 months before the family could leave. Also the 2 youngest brothers could not get transit visas from Spain. Brother Jean-Paul, the Dr. was later arrested, deported and lost his young life in a Nazi Concentration camp. He was then 30 years old. At last on May 2, 1941 they sailed from Lisbon, Portugal, on one of the last boats to cross the Atlantic. Already all other ports were in German hands, (The SS Excambion was sunk by submarines at the next voyage.) Finally he made it to Louisville, 10 persons in all from our 75 year old aunt to 21/2 year old Hubert, Jacques’ youngest son. We were greeted with open heart and open arms by our uncle Sol Levy and Dr. Rauch, who were the only Louisvillians we knew then. Both had paid almost yearly visits to the Wolff family in Strasbourg and in Paris. One of the first visitors who came to meet the ’’newcomers” was none other than Selma Kling herself, a very close friend of "Uncle Sol Levy," who himself was in Louisville since 1882, while his uncle was here since 1850. It was fortunate that all of us spoke English (except, of course, the small children). Jacques’ father passed away a short 2 months after his arrival here. He had suffered from a heart condition and those tumultuous lest years took their toll. Continued on page 5 �Profile continued 5 Jacques went to work for Uncle Sol in his wholesale business, the well known GouldLevy Co., of which he was an officer since 1942 and which many of you readers knew so well. For 22 years it was work from morn' to night, until illness forced him to give up the business. His sons, Francis, married to Betty Bass, of Louisville, and father now himself of 3 sons went in the business of his father in-law, (Louisville wholesale liquor co., Dave Bass). His 2nd son Hubert is an automobile salesman. Jacques is retired now at 62. He hopes to enjoy the fruits of his labors to live in good fellowship and friendship with all, especially the Club 60. Lets hope it is really not later than we think. Activities and hobbies he likes most during all these years of Freedom and Security in this beloved country include: Singing, Jacques was active for years in the old YMHA Chorus (Later J.C.C. Chorus), the French Club, fencing, bowling, oilpainting, fishing, and boating on the beautiful Ohio and his scenic farm over­ looking Rough River Lake. Thank Heaven .. and God Bless America! Editorial Note: It would be presumptious to add anything to this beautiful bio­ graphical sketch but we can't go to press without expressing our own thanks that Jacques Wolff and his family came to America, to Louisville and to Club 60. Jacques and Denise, and of course Eugenie Hirsch, are very dear to us, and words cannot express what it has meant to us to be associated with them.

The National Urban League was established in 1910 and in Louisville in 1920. One of Mr. Walter’s many duties is finding job opportunities for Negroes, who lack past experiences and need training for these new jobs and are given on the job training. In this way they will be an asset instead of a liability to the community. Dora and Max Fishman were the hosts. August 19 - The days guest was Mr. Lewis D. Cole, who very graciously showed beautiful slides of his recent travels to Africa and South Arabia. While showing continued on page 12 �12 the slides Mr. Cole explained the back­ ground of the people and places that were portrayed on the slides. Thank you Mr. Cole. They have only one season all year and raise only tropical fruit. Apples, oranges and grapes must be imported and are considered a luxury. The host for the day was Gertrude Diamond. Her talk was enjoyed by all present. Then we were privileged to see Dannye Kays movie "Assignment Children" made for U.N.U.C.E.F. September 9 - We were treated to have Arthur Kling to be the speaker for the day.

For when this war will be over, we will all live in much closer relationship with the people of far-off countries than ever before. Maybe to give you abetter understanding of what I am going to say you ought to know that even though France is geographically smaller than the state of Texas, it is nevertheless subdivided into pro­ vinces whose characteristics and customs differ, and so do the accents of the people. I have lived in, visited, or associated with people from, all the corners of Prance. I was born and raised in a small town in Alsa with which you are all more familiar than you were a year ago— Haguenau described a few weeks ago in the news as an important rail center north of Strasbourg. Alsace at that time was a German province. But most of the people were waiting hopefully for a re­ union with Prance. I say most of them, for during the 48 years of XXXXXXX occupation, naturally government employees, soldiers, and others had come from Germany to live there and had mingled with the population, so in this group you could find the pro-German ele­ ment. Of the other Alsatians, many moved away from Alsace after the war of 1870, to Prance or to the United States whose democratic ideals were closer to their hearts than the German militaristic government. When I started school I was taught the German language and the way to be a good German—but when I came home, we spoke French, and all the theories of love for Germany which the teachers tried so hard to impress on us were insignificant or worthless after our parents' teaching of attachment to Prance. That is why I am convinced that if the German youth has been such an important element in the first victories of Hitler, the German parents must be blamed for XX letting their children’s minds be misled by this fanatic madman who was able to make a spy of each child in the midst of his own family. (Eating butter) Coming back to my German schooldays, my French first XXXXX name worried my teachers very much, and they tried very hard to convince me of the necessity of changing it, but their efforts were in vain. Another memory of those days is that of house inspection, which we had to undergo several times during the last war. From time to time my mother wrote to her brothers in the United States through the Red Cross or through friends living in Switzerland. Naturally she tried to tell them not to worry about us and that we got enough food and so on. This was enough for the censor of the letter to think we got extra food or we were hoarding, and with sentries posted at the four corners of the block, a group of Germans went through every nook and corner of our house, butt always without any success. Came summer 1918 and new hopes of liberation and out of the family linen closet came a linen sheet. It was torn into 3 equal strips . One was kept at home and the two others went to the dyers. strips the manager of which was a friend of oars and a French patriot. above all. That was our way of getting our tricolor ready and believe me it was XX hoisted long before the last German soldier had left the town of the liberation was immense. We restrictions, the bread was (so to say) not edible, but we could stay at home all the time and XX only heard the guns far off. Only visitors to Haguenau who had lived in and fled from northern Prance and Luneville in the Vosges Mountains, were our source of reports about German (not �-2- Nazi at that time) cruelties. I knew a woman who never got well after seeing her husband and 18-year-old daughter shot before her eyes by some drunken soldiers. She spent XX 20 years in a sanitorium before sha died. From 1920 to 1932 people began to live again in a normal manner. Out of the ruins new houses were built. France had to struggle hard to balance her economic life. Poincare, the Minister of Finance, was a great statesman and saved France from inflation at that time. But on the other side of the Rhine trouble was brewing again. And as XXXXX soon as the German armies occupied the Left Bank again, we knew that war was inevitable. Everybody went about his business as usual but with a feeling of worry and uncertainty about the future. Married in 1930 I made my home in Paris where I had often visited before, but returned to Alsace for 2 months every summer with Francis my older boy. In August, 1938, Hubert, my second son, was born in Stras­ bourg and by the time I brought him home from the hospital, everybody in France, and particularly in Alsace, became restless. Soldiers of the reserve army were called back, fitted out and sent to the Maginot Line only a few miles away. Mr. Wolff’s brother, just returned from Czecho­ slovakia where he had participated in the world’s tournaments for fencing told us how the Czechs feared an invasion of their homeland. This was a war of XXX nerves, but how trying! I bid good-bye to my parents one Wednesday morning at 6 o’clock, urging them to follow us if the danger became greater, and this is how four-weeks-old Hubert started his refugee life. We drove to Paris, our home, but for a short stay only. Mr. Wolff went to seek a country home and after a couple of days, he found what we thought would be ideal 3 miles away from the railroad, no factories or military objectives within 8 miles. It was a little chateau surrounded by a park XXXXX with huge trees, a big vegetable garden which could provide the needs of the family and all kinds of XXXX fruit trees. Before we were settled there, my husband was drafted, so I went with his parents and younger brothers and awaited anxiously the outcome of all this. In the meantime my parents had decided to leave their home and found refuge in a nearby village XX inn. It was not so hard for them to leave home and everything connected with it as it was for my 88-year-old grandmother, an invalid, who had not gone farther than our front yard in 20 years. AS you all know, after the famous Munich Agreement Hitler was supposed to be satisfied and we all went back to our homes for a short year. In August, 1939, we were all on the move again. Back to Fontaine we went. Into the big home flocked all the members of the family. For my parents I rented a primitive XX little farmhouse. Again my husband and his 4 brother were drafted and sent all over France, the youngest ones in training, the oldest standing guard in front of the Maginot Line. Alsace was completely evacuated. Those who could go by their own means, who knew where to go, were fortunate, the others were jammed in freight trains, XXXX were on most uncomfortable trips for several days. During the winter of 1939-1940 my brother-in-law was freezing in the foxholes on the banks of the Rhine 300 yardsfrom his home and couldn’t go there to get a blanket. Strasbourg was declared an "open city." No soldier was allowed to enter, to avoid a pretext for the Germans to shall the city. From Fontaine I went to my XXXXXXXX home on several occasions for a couple of days at a time to settle some business matters, and so I found myself there during the night of May 9-10. An air raid alarm was signalled, but I stayed quietly in my bed. Only the next morning when I went down for breakfast did I hear the terrible news that every airport in Eastern France had been effectively bombed during the night and that the German troops had �invaded Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg. I rushed brack to my family in Fontaine and from there we witnessed the greatest tragedy in French history. With heavy hearts and great worries did we listen to the news broadcast. XXXXX every hour, while outside in the yard about 50 soldiers who were Quartered in the loft above our garage stood by anxiously. News XX from our boys became more irregular as the advancing enemy armies came closer. These soldiers I Just mentioned were part of the French army reserve, XXX men between 30 and 40, about 300 of whom had been lodged in Fontaines in haylofts and other unoccupied shelters, right when the war started. Most of them hailed from the Luxembourg border and the Reims area where the break-through occurred. Some of them who ware called back from XX furloughs told us of the inhuman cruelty of the German dive-bombers who were masters of the skies at that time. For example, one of them chose for target a group of 20 kindergarten children Just leaving school and machine-gunned them from the height of tree-tops, killing every one of them. During the next few weeks the otherwise quiet main street of Fontaine became animated with a pitiful crowd. Moving south came the cars from Belgium loaded to capacitywith bedding and valuables, old men, women, and children, the young men being all in the army. Those were the privileged ones; their cars very often showed the marks of the machine-guns, and XXXX many of their friends did not get this far. Later came the farmers on horsedriven carts who had been on this miserable trek for 3 weeks when they reached Fontaine. Some of them had a cow in the trailer, to provide milk for the family, some chickens sometimes. They stopped overnight in farms and at mealtimes we always fed one family or another. Their story was one and the same; having suffered indescribable hardships during the last war, they wanted by all means to get out of the path of the German army. They showed their shell-tornclothes. One woman while feeding her baby told us how she had left another of her children seriously wounded in a hospital on the way. Bv that time all boys over 14 were ordered to leave northern France to avoid being sent as slave laborers to Germany. Thousands of them swarmed on bicycles by our home, having covered 500 miles or more sometimes. I remember one 16-year-old youth from Tourcoings who rested a while in our yard and told us how he was the only one of a group of 10 who had come this far, the others having been killed or wounded by bombs and machine-guns from low-flying planes. I could go on and on telling you those people’s sad stories. When around June 9th the enemy was not more than 70 miles away, when the German planes ware constantly overhead, when they bombed the airport in Chartres XXXX only 8 miles away, we made the decision to pack the indispensables and to leave the next day. Each one of us went to his room to assemble his belongings. Francis, Just 9 years XXX old, came to me in tears not knowing what to do with his canaries. We decided to take them to a woman who lived at the other end of the village and who had helped us around the house. As he walked there with the bird-cage in his hand, the first of a group of cars stopped him and the occupants asked the way. Great was his surprise when he recognised some very good friends of ours. They had fled their country home about 40 miles northeast of Fontaine 24 hours before and had spent all night in their cars trying to get over a bridge across the Seine, some of which spans had already been blown up by the retreating French army. They came four cars full, our friends; a Parisian lawyer, his wife, and his 3 children; and 3 farmers' wives with their children. The men had stayed at home to attend to 300 head of cattle. They were all exhausted and hungry and we gave them dinner and prepared beds. And with them we left Fontaine the next morning. We decided to go to Limoges where my sister-in-law had moved with her mother, refugees from Strasbourg. Once more we were lucky. My father-in-law �who drove the car, through side-roads instead of highways, got us there by nightfall. Later on we met friends who were a whole week on their way on the same highways which were crowded withall kinds of cars. Everything which had wheels was used to move people south, but many people had to make detours and took days to find a bridge intact, the French having blown up the bridges, trying to make a stand at the Loire. When we reached Limoges it was terrible. The streets, the public places, everywhere hundreds and hundreds cars of refugees. The city was full to capacity and still they came streaming in. Hundreds of them slept in improvised shelters. Picture shows, cafes, schools were used as dormitories. At my sister-in-law( s little 3-room apartment we doubled up and with mattresses on the floor we were better off than most of these late-comers. We wre there for about a week, very crowded, hearthsick and not knowing wehre to go,with no news from my husband and his brothers; when finally we went around the country and found a few rooms in an old chateau nearby. We felt ourselves very lucky. We improvised a little kitchen in a closet in if I would give you the details about it you would not believe that it was possible under those conditions to prpare meals for a family of seven; ther was no water in this old chateau, every drop used for any purpose had to be carried in pails from a well about 100 yards down the hill. The closest grocery store was three and a half miles away throu wodded hills. Gasoline was unobtainable for in the last four weeks the whole economic system in France had collapsed. It was I who went to the village for food, the others membres of the family being unable to under take such a hike and in my knapsack I braught home bred and staples, which were still to be obtained. It was there, at the Chateau de la Grille re, that we heard how France had given up the fight, cruched by the unrolling german armored divisions and air-forces, which seeemed to come out of every where. I can’t finf words to describe to you our state of mind during the following weeks, being strandet there, in a strange part of the country,comparable to the Kentucky hills, most uncomfortably among a group af other refugies, without news neither from our soldiers,nor mv parents. Frtunately through a member of our family who lived in the southern part of France, we could again get in touch withe some of our dear ones. After these long weeks af waiting I such got word from my husband, who had been slightly wounded. He was taken to a hospital and his wounds attended. But during the second night, he was there among the groaning of the seriously, unattended wounded and heard the rumble of some German tanks. He could not stand the idea of being caught inthis trap, got out of his bed, put on his clothes, his trousers in shreds, sneaked out of the hospital, which was easy since most of the staff had gone away, and with a cane went into the nearby forest. At dawn he stopped an ambulance which took him south for a hundred miles. When they ran out of gas a passing truck XXXXXX gave him a lift to Lyon where ha was put again with a group of soldiers newly outfitted, and sent back to fight in an Alpine pass. He was there when the armistice was signed and with God’s help ge never had to endure the hardships which two of his brothers had to undergo. Both were made prisoners during this pitiful retreat; after 4 and 6 months, respectively, they both braved the danger of escaping from the camps out of occupied France into what was then called Free France. We had stayed in that chateau for 2 1/2 months, but rumors spread continu­ ously that the Germans were taking this territory over, too. In Limoges you could frequently see the German officers of the Armistice Commission. So we decided to move farther south and went to Beziers XXX where my family had arrived 2 weeks before. This was as far away from the Germans as we could go. We also thought of this city of 60,000 as a winter haven, for it is situated 5 miles from the Mediterranean Sea and benefits from its mild climate. During the 8 months we stayed in Beziers, my husband and �his brothers made frequent trips to the American Consulate in Marseille. Our papers had been filed in July, 1940, in Washington and on January 21# 1941, the whole family was issued the necessary visas for the United States. On that .day we could make reservations for the boat which was to bring us over here. 4 months later Our stay in Beziers was another dark chapter in our family history. The food situation went from bad to worse. Everything was rationed: meat, coffee ersata, cheese, bread, sugar, rice, noodles, milk onlyfor the children, soap. We want sometimes for weeks without potatoes. I stood in lines for hours sometimes to get a pound of fish, one pound with my eleven ration books, for all our soldiers had come back in the meantime; 2 eggs, once a month. Like a gift from heaven came twice a month the distribution XX of food given refugees and families of war prisoners in Beziers by the American Red Cross. Those distributions of food meant more to us than we can express—food which was unobtainable without ration points which helped us to stretch our poor rations. Raisins, prunes, syrup, canned milk, noodles, and soap were considered life savers. The American Red Cross also sent vitamins to be given to the school children. But all 'this was toogood to last. The Germans took advantage of these relief shipments destined for the French people and sent them to Germany with all the rest of the French supplies. So the American Red Cross had to stop this act of mercy. But I am glad that on this occasion I am able to say to you, you who through your generous donations made this splendid relief work possible, thank XXX you in my name and in the name of my French friends. By the way, I can assure you that since I am in this country it is certainly more enjoyable to give to the Red Cross than to be on the receiving end, and to live under the conditions I want through while in Beziers and before. While in that city Mr. Wolff's mother became seriously ill and after 4 months of sickness passed away. I don’t want to go into deep details but would like to make you realize all the hardships and discomforts we went through during that period in vary crowded living conditions, getting up from meals with unfilled stomachs and shattered nerves. Even though we had our American visas and our boat reservations had been bought by our uncle here, we still were not sure if we would be able to leave France. The 5 brothers filed an appeal to Marshall Petain for a permit to leave the country which was granted to them a few weeks later. But we got no news about the transit visas XXXX for Spain and Portugal. Days, weeks, and months passed. Our boat, the Excambion, was sailing from Lisbon the 2nd of May. We were Required to be there four days before that day. Our trip through France and Spain was going to take another 3 days. It was the very last possible (fay, after exchanging cables with Portugal, that we got those transit visas. The Spanish Consulate gave us 10 of the 12 applied for. With regard to an agreement,the Spanish government had with Germany, they would not grant permits to the younger Wolff brothers who were not yet 30 years of age. We had prepared ourselves to leave on a few hours notice and the big trunks had been sent away after we got the Portugese visas. That is how we landed here with those 2 boys’ heavy winter garments which they missed so badly afterwards. Our trip through Spain and Portugal was as smooth as could be expectedwhen a family group of 10 underthis nervous tension of the last few weeks and the general excitement of the journey gets under way. There was, of course, a checking of the 24 trunks each time we had to change trains and at the customs inspections. Also the excitement of smuggling through a little extra money beside the $50 per �-6- person to which we ware entitled. But finally we made it, got to Lisbon, all 10 of us, and for the first time in a year XXXXX we ate until we were not hungry any more. We walked through the streets looking at the windows full of groceries, the pastry shops with rich cakes like children in the toy department of a store in December. It was hard to believe that some countries still could live as in pre-war days. Our ocean trip took 10 days and on the morning of May 12 everybody was on deck early. Everybody wanted to see the statue of liberty. Most of the passengers were refugees from all over Europe or repatriated AmericanXX citizens. Two passengers of special interest were ex-King Carol of Rumania and Mme. Lupescu. And the former Ambassador of Argentina To Rome who came back to his country to be named Foreign Minister, pro-Fascist, if you can remember. Impa­ tiently we awaited our turn to be checked out and at last we felt secure on this blessed American soil. Even though my subject for this talk is France and my personal experiences there, I think it would be incomplete if I did not give you my impressions of this country. Amazed anddeeply impressed were we during our short stay in New York. The gigantic pro­ portions of everything, the speed and the efficiency, the modern methods, streamlined buildings, and the geometric planning of the city. We could not stop wondering. The youth and strength of New York compared to Paris where every corner brings back memories of the past. So different one from another. But it was only in Louisville that we were to meet the American people. Those we met in New York were old friends and relatives who wanted to make things pleasant for us. That was our idea. But here in Louisville we would be the strangers, the newcomers with a foreign accent and so on. Great was our surprise. The welcome we got in our adopted home the first day and the first week was wonderful, and in the coming weeks and months we really got the feeling that we belong hare and that we are part of the neighborhood and considered so by the people all over the block. Never will I forget, that when I had hardly stepped into the home, where I was goin g to live from now on, my next door neighbor stood at my door with flowers and smile and offering her help in any way I would need it. And this was only the beginning. From down and up and accross the street everybody practiced in the most wonderfull way the good neighbor policy. Only somebody who has been pushed around as much as we had been in the last years can realise how much this meant to us. "Come in" were significantly enough the first english words little 3 year old Hubert had been taught by his new friends . If I had time I would give you many examples of friendliness and understanding, which helped us so much tu adapt ourselves to this American way of life. I am glad that today I am able to say to you. express my thanksforyou But while we had reached this heaven of liberty bur thaughts went always back to thosewhom we had left behind, parents,brothers, sisters and so many friends. At first the news from there came slowly and irregularly and for 2 1/2 years we were com;pletely cut off from France. You can hardly imagine the worries and the uncertainty about our dear ones and our friends xxx still over there and how justified were these worries. How many have had to untergo those inhuman treatements of the Gestapo. God only know. But from the letters and cards, which come in now a great number of victims have never been heard of. Among them one of Mr. Wolff’s brothers, a young Doctor arrested and condemned for underground activities, imprisoned in France for months and the chosen as hostage after a time bomb explosion in a Paris Movie house, along with 3o others poor innocents sent to Germany or elsewhere in 1942 and never we heard of him since. In my mail last week in one day, from different french friends I heard of one’s husband killed �-7 - by the Gestapo, another one's husband arrested and presumed to be in Germany, without news from him, 10 members of one girl's family deported old and young,never heard of, a young mother separated from her two children one only a few weeks old, she did not survive this horrible tragedy. The children were cared for by good french people, until some member of her family could take care of them. One of our cousins, the one I mentioned previously, who helped us to find each other in July 40 was murdered by the Gestapo in her own bathroom. Her husband escaped by jumping out of a second floor window and their 7 year old little girl was saved by neighbors. Then hunted by the merciless Gestapo and also the Vichy Militia they lived hidden in Farmhouses. A reward of 5000 frs was pledged to each person who would denounce a Jew or a patriot xx to the barbarians. Many a life has been savedby those french farmers village priests, who had formed a chain and ledthose pursued and terror strickens, probable victims,to safer hiding places. Greater tragedies have never been lived through before in history. Ruthless murder, rape, plunder, sadisme and scientific tortures were comon place. In Alsace the foe was particularly mean, because of the stuborness of those people. One recent letter tells me all the young men there have been deported for slave labor or forced draft in the German Army, or killed. 0Ne spot in the Vosges Mountains where I used to spend some wonderfull winter week ends, The Struthof, has become the most sinistre spot; A concentration camp and death factory was estab­ lished there. You read in the press what happened there. In Haguenau, my hometown, after the fighting of last January, one house only out of every 50 was still standin. The war front map of last sundays paper showed me that the corner north of my home-town Haguenau had been in German hands untl then and fighting was still going on there. I cannot give you a coplete report about all the news I got from my home folks. But every one of them tell us: With Gods help we are still alive,we were all candidats for deportation, you cannot realize the horribles anxietys we went trough these last three vears. The enthousiasme of the liberation, the cheerin of the yanks, even tough conditions have not changed yet, food being as scarce as before because of a co;lete breakdown of the transportation system, they are happy to be free, Each man, each woman and ech child will never forget the price of Freedom again. Tell it to your American friends, they write to me, that they will never again permit such a thing to happen. Being far away and not realizing what happened here, they might forget, that twice in one generation, the boches put the torch to the world. If there is a Justice those mass murderers must pay for their crimes and must be made harmless, so that our children and all the childred over the world, may grow up in peace and become citizens of a future world civilisation of which we will be able to be proud of. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document 3/26/1945It is indeed with great pleasure that I come hare today, and I sincerely hope that my experiences and my impressions of my native land will bring you some light and help you to understand better the problems of the French people. For when this war will be over, we will all live in much closer relationship with the people of far-off countries than ever before. Maybe to give you abetter understanding of what I am going to say you ought to know that even though France is geographically smaller than the state of Texas, it is nevertheless subdivided into pro vinces whose characteristics and customs differ, and so do the accents of the people. I have lived in, visited, or associated with people from, all the corners of Prance. I was born and raised in a small town in Alsa with which you are all more familiar than you were a year ago— Haguenau described a few weeks ago in the news as an important rail center north of Strasbourg. Alsace at that time was a German province. But most of the people were waiting hopefully for a re union with Prance. I say most of them, for during the 48 years of XXXXXXX occupation, naturally government employees, soldiers, and others had come from Germany to live there and had mingled with the population, so in this group you could find the pro-German ele ment. Of the other Alsatians, many moved away from Alsace after the war of 1870, to Prance or to the United States whose democratic ideals were closer to their hearts than the German militaristic government. When I started school I was taught the German language and the way to be a good German—but when I came home, we spoke French, and all the theories of love for Germany which the teachers tried so hard to impress on us were insignificant or worthless after our parents' teaching of attachment to Prance. That is why I am convinced that if the German youth has been such an important element in the first victories of Hitler, the German parents must be blamed for XX letting their children’s minds be misled by this fanatic madman who was able to make a spy of each child in the midst of his own family. (Eating butter) Coming back to my German schooldays, my French first XXXXX name worried my teachers very much, and they tried very hard to convince me of the necessity of changing it, but their efforts were in vain. Another memory of those days is that of house inspection, which we had to undergo several times during the last war. From time to time my mother wrote to her brothers in the United States through the Red Cross or through friends living in Switzerland. Naturally she tried to tell them not to worry about us and that we got enough food and so on. This was enough for the censor of the letter to think we got extra food or we were hoarding, and with sentries posted at the four corners of the block, a group of Germans went through every nook and corner of our house, butt strips. always without any success. Came summer 1918 and new hopes of liberation and out of the family linen closet came a linen sheet. It was torn into 3 equal strips One was kept at home and the two others went to the dyers. the manager of which was a friend of oars and a French patriot. That was our way of getting our tricolor ready and it was XX hoisted long before the last German soldier had left the town of the liberation was immense. We restrictions, the bread was (so to say) not edible, but we could stay at home all the time and XX only heard the above all. believe me guns far off. Only visitors to Haguenau who had lived in and fled from northern Prance and Luneville in the Vosges Mountains, were our source of reports about German (not -2- Nazi at that time) cruelties. I knew a woman who never got well after seeing her husband and 18-year-old daughter shot before her eyes by some drunken soldiers. She spent XX 20 years in a sanitorium before sha died. From 1920 to 1932 people began to live again in a normal manner. Out of the ruins new houses were built. France had to struggle hard to balance her economic life. Poincare, the Minister of Finance, was a great statesman and saved France from inflation at that time. But on the other side of the Rhine trouble was brewing again. And as XXXXX soon as the German armies occupied the Left Bank again, we knew that war was inevitable. Everybody went about his business as usual but with a feeling of worry and uncertainty about the future. Married in 1930 I made my home in Paris where I had often visited before, but returned to Alsace for 2 months every summer with Francis my older boy. In August, 1938, Hubert, my second son, was born in Stras bourg and by the time I brought him home from the hospital, everybody in France, and particularly in Alsace, became restless. Soldiers of the reserve army were called back, fitted out and sent to the Maginot Line only a few miles away. Mr. Wolff’s brother, just returned from Czecho slovakia where he had participated in the world’s tournaments for fencing told us how the Czechs feared an invasion of their homeland. This was a war of XXX nerves, but how trying! I bid good-bye to my parents one Wednesday morning at 6 o’clock, urging them to follow us if the danger became greater, and this is how four-weeks-old Hubert started his refugee life. We drove to Paris, our home, but for a short stay only. Mr. Wolff went to seek a country home and after a couple of days, he found what we thought would be ideal 3 miles away from the railroad, no factories or military objectives within 8 miles. It was a little chateau surrounded by a park XXXXX with huge trees, a big vegetable garden which could provide the needs of the family and all kinds of XXXX fruit trees. Before we were settled there, my husband was drafted, so I went with his parents and younger brothers and awaited anxiously the outcome of all this. In the meantime my parents had decided to leave their home and found refuge in a nearby village XX inn. It was not so hard for them to leave home and everything connected with it as it was for my 88-year-old grandmother, an invalid, who had not gone farther than our front yard in 20 years. AS you all know, after the famous Munich Agreement Hitler was supposed to be satisfied and we all went back to our homes for a short year. In August, 1939, we were all on the move again. Back to Fontaine we went. Into the big home flocked all the members of the family. For my parents I rented a primitive XX little farmhouse. Again my husband and his 4 brother were drafted and sent all over France, the youngest ones in training, the oldest standing guard in front of the Maginot Line. Alsace was completely evacuated. Those who could go by their own means, who knew where to go, were fortunate, the others were jammed in freight trains, XXXX were on most uncomfortable trips for several days. During the winter of 1939-1940 my brother-in-law was freezing in the foxholes on the banks of the Rhine 300 yardsfrom his home and couldn’t go there to get a blanket. Strasbourg was declared an "open city." No soldier was allowed to enter, to avoid a pretext for the Germans to shall the city. From Fontaine I went to my XXXXXXXX home on several occasions for a couple of days at a time to settle some business matters, and so I found myself there during the night of May 9-10. An air raid alarm was signalled, but I stayed quietly in my bed. Only the next morning when I went down for breakfast did I hear the terrible news that every airport in Eastern France had been effectively bombed during the night and that the German troops had invaded Holland, Belgium, and Luxembourg. I rushed brack to my family in Fontaine and from there we witnessed the greatest tragedy in French history. With heavy hearts and great worries did we listen to the news broadcast. XXXXX every hour, while outside in the yard about 50 soldiers who were Quartered in the loft above our garage stood by anxiously. News XX from our boys became more irregular as the advancing enemy armies came closer. These soldiers I Just mentioned were part of the French army reserve, XXX men between 30 and 40, about 300 of whom had been lodged in Fontaines in haylofts and other unoccupied shelters, right when the war started. Most of them hailed from the Luxembourg border and the Reims area where the break-through occurred. Some of them who ware called back from XX furloughs told us of the inhuman cruelty of the German dive-bombers who were masters of the skies at that time. For example, one of them chose for target a group of 20 kindergarten children Just leaving school and machine-gunned them from the height of tree-tops, killing every one of them. During the next few weeks the otherwise quiet main street of Fontaine became animated with a pitiful crowd. Moving south came the cars from Belgium loaded to capacitywith bedding and valuables, old men, women, and children, the young men being all in the army. Those were the privileged ones; their cars very often showed the marks of the machine-guns, and XXXX many of their friends did not get this far. Later came the farmers on horse- driven carts who had been on this miserable trek for 3 weeks when they reached Fontaine. Some of them had a cow in the trailer, to provide milk for the family, some chickens sometimes. They stopped overnight in farms and at mealtimes we always fed one family or another. Their story was one and the same; having suffered indescribable hardships during the last war, they wanted by all means to get out of the path of the German army. They showed their shell-tornclothes. One woman while feeding her baby told us how she had left another of her children seriously wounded in a hospital on the way. Bv that time all boys over 14 were ordered to leave northern France to avoid being sent as slave laborers to Germany. Thousands of them swarmed on bicycles by our home, having covered 500 miles or more sometimes. I remember one 16-year-old youth from Tourcoings who rested a while in our yard and told us how he was the only one of a group of 10 who had come this far, the others having been killed or wounded by bombs and machine-guns from low-flying planes. I could go on and on telling you those people’s sad stories. When around June 9th the enemy was n ot more than 70 miles away, when the German planes ware constantly overhead, when they bombed the airport in Chartres XXXX only 8 miles away, we made the decision to pack the indispensables and to leave the next day. Each one of us went to his room to assemble his belongings. Francis, Just 9 years XXX old, came to me in tears not knowing what to do with his canaries. We decided to take them to a woman who lived at the other end of the village and who had helped us around the house. As he walked there with the bird-cage in his hand, the first of a group of cars stopped him and the occupants asked the way. Great was his surprise when he recognised some very good friends of ours. They had fled their country home about 40 miles northeast of Fontaine 24 hours before and had spent all night in their cars trying to get over a bridge across the Seine, some of which spans had already been blown up by the retreating French army. They came four cars full, our friends; a Parisian lawyer, his wife, and his 3 children; and 3 farmers' wives with their children. The men had stayed at home to attend to 300 head of cattle. They were all exhausted and hungry and we gave them dinner and prepared beds. And with them we left Fontaine the next morning. We decided to go to Limoges where my sister-in-law had moved with her mother, refugees from Strasbourg. Once more we were lucky. My father-in-law who drove the car, through side-roads instead of highways, got us there by nightfall. Later on we met friends who were a whole week on their way on the same highways which were crowded withall kinds of cars. Everything which had wheels was used to move people south, but many people had to make detours and took days to find a bridge intact, the French having blown up the bridges, trying to make a stand at the Loire. When we reached Limoges it was terrible. The streets, the public places, everywhere hundreds and hundreds cars of refugees. The city was full to capacity and still they came streaming in. Hundreds of them slept in improvised shelters. Picture shows, cafes, schools were used as dormitories. At my sister-in-law( s little 3-room apartment we doubled up and with mattresses on the floor we were better off than most of these late-comers. We wre there for about a week, very crowded, hearthsick and not knowing wehre to go,with no news from my husband and his brothers; when finally we went around the country and found a few rooms in an old chateau nearby. We felt ourselves very lucky. We improvised a little kitchen in a closet in if I would give you the details about it you would not believe that it was possible under those conditions to prpare meals for a family of seven; ther was no water in this old chateau, every drop used for any purpose had to be carried in pails from a well about 100 yards down the hill. The closest grocery store was three and a half miles away throu wodded hills. Gasoline was unobtainable for in the last four weeks the whole economic system in France had collapsed. It was I who went to the village for food, the others membres of the family being unable to under take such a hike and in my knapsack I braught home bred and staples, which were still to be obtained. It was there, at the Chateau de la Grille re, that we heard how France had given up the fight, cruched by the unrolling german armored divisions and air-forces, which seeemed to come out of every where. I can’t finf words to describe to you our state of mind during the following weeks, being strandet there, in a strange part of the country,comparable to the Kentucky hills, most uncomfortably among a group af other refugies, without news neither from our soldiers,nor mv parents. Frtunately through a member of our family who lived in the southern part of France, we could again get in touch withe some of our dear ones. After these long weeks af waiting I such got word from my husband, who had been slightly wounded. He was taken to a hospital and his wounds attended. But during the second night, he was there among the groaning of the seriously, unattended wounded and heard the rumble of some German tanks. He could not stand the idea of being caught inthis trap, got out of his bed, put on his clothes, his trousers in shreds, sneaked out of the hospital, which was easy since most of the staff had gone away, and with a cane went into the nearby forest. At dawn he stopped an ambulance which took him south for a hundred miles. When they ran out of gas a passing truck XXXXXX gave him a lift to Lyon where ha was put again with a group of soldiers newly outfitted, and sent back to fight in an Alpine pass. He was there when the armistice was signed and with God’s help ge never had to endure the hardships which two of his brothers had to undergo. Both were made prisoners during this pitiful retreat; after 4 and 6 months, respectively, they both braved the danger of escaping from the camps out of occupied France into what was then called Free France. We had stayed in that chateau for 2 1/2 months, but rumors spread continu ously that the Germans were taking this territory over, too. In Limoges you could frequently see the German officers of the Armistice Commission. So we decided to move farther south and went to Beziers XXX where my family had arrived 2 weeks before. This was as far away from the Germans as we could go. We also thought of this city of 60,000 as a winter haven, for it is situated 5 miles from the Mediterranean Sea and benefits from its mild climate. During the 8 months we stayed in Beziers, my husband and his brothers made frequent trips to the American Consulate in Marseille. Our papers had been filed in July, 1940, in Washington and on January 21# 1941, the whole family was issued the necessary visas for the United States. On that .day we could make reservations for the boat which was to bring us over here. 4 months later Our stay in Beziers was another dark chapter in our family history. The food situation went from bad to worse. Everything was rationed: meat, coffee ersata, cheese, bread, sugar, rice, noodles, milk onlyfor the children, soap. We want sometimes for weeks without potatoes. I stood in lines for hours sometimes to get a pound of fish, one pound with my eleven ration books, for all our soldiers had come back in the meantime; 2 eggs, once a month. Like a gift from heaven came twice a month the distribution XX of food given refugees and families of war prisoners in Beziers by the American Red Cross. Those distributions of food meant more to us than we can express— food which was unobtainable without ration points which helped us to stretch our poor rations. Raisins, prunes, syrup, canned milk, noodles, and soap were considered life savers. The American Red Cross also sent vitamins to be given to the school children. But all 'this was toogood to last. The Germans took advantage of these relief shipments destined for the French people and sent them to Germany with all the rest of the French supplies. So the American Red Cross had to stop this act of mercy. But I am glad that on this occasion I am able to say to you, you who through your generous donations made this splendid relief work possible, thank XXX you in my name and in the name of my French friends. By the way, I can assure you that since I am in this country it is certainly more enjoyable to give to the Red Cross than to be on the receiving end, and to live under the conditions I want through while in Beziers and before. While in that city Mr. Wolff's mother became seriously ill and after 4 months of sickness passed away. I don’t want to go into deep details but would like to make you realize all the hardships and discomforts we went through during that period in vary crowded living conditions, getting up from meals with unfilled stomachs and shattered nerves. Even though we had our American visas and our boat reservations had been bought by our uncle here, we still were not sure if we would be able to leave France. The 5 brothers filed an appeal to Marshall Petain for a permit to leave the country which was granted to them a few weeks later. But we got no news about the transit visas XXXX for Spain and Portugal. Days, weeks, and months passed. Our boat, the Excambion, was sailing from Lisbon the 2nd of May. We were Required to be there four days before that day. Our trip through France and Spain was going to take another 3 days. It was the very last possible (fay, after exchanging cables with Portugal, that we got those transit visas. The Spanish Consulate gave us 10 of the 12 applied for. With regard to an agreement,the Spanish government had with Germany, they would not grant permits to the younger Wolff brothers who were not yet 30 years of age. We had prepared ourselves to leave on a few hours notice and the big trunks had been sent away after we got the Portugese visas. That is how we landed here with those 2 boys’ heavy winter garments which they missed so badly afterwards. Our trip through Spain and Portugal was as smooth as could be expectedwhen a family group of 10 underthis nervous tension of the last few weeks and the general excitement of the journey gets under way. There was, of course, a checking of the 24 trunks each time we had to change trains and at the customs inspections. Also the excitement of smuggling through a little extra money beside the $50 per -6- person to which we ware entitled. But finally we made it, got to Lisbon, all 10 of us, and for the first time in a year XXXXX we ate until we were not hungry any more. We walked through the streets looking at the windows full of groceries, the pastry shops with rich cakes like children in the toy department of a store in December. It was hard to believe that some countries still could live as in pre-war days. Our ocean trip took 10 days and on the morning of May 12 everybody was on deck early. Everybody wanted to see the statue of liberty. Most of the passengers were refugees from all over Europe or repatriated AmericanXX citizens. Two passengers of special interest were ex-King Carol of Rumania and Mme. Lupescu. And the former Ambassador of Argentina To Rome who came back to his country to be named Foreign Minister, pro-Fascist, if you can remember. Impa tiently we awaited our turn to be checked out and at last we felt secure on this blessed American soil. Even though my subject for this talk is France and my personal experiences there, I think it would be incomplete if I did not give you my impressions of this country. Amazed anddeeply impressed were we during our short stay in New York. The gigantic pro portions of everything, the speed and the efficiency, the modern methods, streamlined buildings, and the geometric planning of the city. We could not stop wondering. The youth and strength of New York compared to Paris where every corner brings back memories of the past. So different one from another. But it was only in Louisville that we were to meet the American people. Those we met in New York were old friends and relatives who wanted to make things pleasant for us. That was our idea. But here in Louisville we would be the strangers, the newcomers with a foreign accent and so on. Great was our surprise. The welcome we got in our adopted home the first day and the first week was wonderful, and in the coming weeks and months we really got the feeling that we belong hare and that we are part of the neighborhood and considered so by the people all over the block. Never will I forget, that when I had hardly stepped into the home, where I was goin g to live from now on, my next door neighbor stood at my door with flowers and smile and offering her help in any way I would need it. And this was only the beginning. From down and up and accross the street everybody practiced in the most wonderfull way the good neighbor policy. Only somebody who has been pushed around as much as we had been in the last years can realise how much this meant to us. "Come in" were significantly enough the first english words little 3 year old Hubert had been taught by his new friends . If I had time I would give you many examples of friendliness and understanding, which helped us so much tu adapt ourselves to this American way of life. I am glad that today I am able to say to you. express my thanks for you But while we had reached this heaven of liberty bur thaughts went always back to thosewhom we had left behind, parents,brothers, sisters and so many friends. At first the news from there came slowly and irregularly and for 2 1/2 years we were com;pletely cut off from France. You can hardly imagine the worries and the uncertainty about our dear ones and our friends xxx still over there and how justified were these worries. How many have had to untergo those inhuman treatements of the Gestapo. God only know. But from the letters and cards, which come in now a great number of victims have never been heard of. Among them one of Mr. Wolff’s brothers, a young Doctor arrested and condemned for underground activities, imprisoned in France for months and the chosen as hostage after a time bomb explosion in a Paris Movie house, along with 3o others poor innocents sent to Germany or elsewhere in 1942 and never we heard of him since. In my mail last week in one day, from different french friends I heard of one’s husband killed -7 - by the Gestapo, another one's husband arrested and presumed to be in Germany, without news from him, 10 members of one girl's family deported old and young,never heard of, a young mother separated from her two children one only a few weeks old, she did not survive this horrible tragedy. The children were cared for by good french people, until some member of her family could take care of them. One of our cousins, the one I mentioned previously, who helped us to find each other in July 40 was murdered by the Gestapo in her own bathroom. Her husband escaped by jumping out of a second floor window and their 7 year old little girl was saved by neighbors. Then hunted by the merciless Gestapo and also the Vichy Militia they lived hidden in Farmhouses. A reward of 5000 frs was pledged to each person who would denounce a Jew or a patriot xx to the barbarians. Many a life has been savedby those french farmers village priests, who had formed a chain and ledthose pursued and terror strickens, probable victims,to safer hiding places. Greater tragedies have never been lived through before in history. Ruthless murder, rape, plunder, sadisme and scientific tortures were comon place. In Alsace the foe was particularly mean, because of the stuborness of those people. One recent letter tells me all the young men there have been deported for slave labor or forced draft in the German Army, or killed. 0Ne spot in the Vosges Mountains where I used to spend some wonderfull winter week ends, The Struthof, has become the most sinistre spot; A concentration camp and death factory was estab lished there. You read in the press what happened there. In Haguenau, my hometown, after the fighting of last January, one house only out of every 50 was still standin. The war front map of last sundays paper showed me that the corner north of my home-town Haguenau had been in German hands untl then and fighting was still going on there. I cannot give you a coplete report about all the news I got from my home folks. But every one of them tell us: With Gods help we are still alive,we were all candidats for deportation, you cannot realize the horribles anxietys we went trough these last three vears. The enthousiasme of the liberation, the cheerin of the yanks, even tough conditions have not changed yet, food being as scarce as before because of a co;lete breakdown of the transportation system, they are happy to be free, Each man, each woman and ech child will never forget the price of Freedom again. Tell it to your American friends, they write to me, that they will never again permit such a thing to happen. Being far away and not realizing what happened here, they might forget, that twice in one generation, the boches put the torch to the world. If there is a Justice those mass murderers must pay for their crimes and must be made harmless, so that our children and all the childred over the world, may grow up in peace and become citizens of a future world civilisation of which we will be able to be proud of.

Text Any textual data included in the document Louisville, June 29 45 Cher ALbert, Cher Geo-Geo.... Comme vous le savez sans doute, les conditions pour obtenir les visas d'immigration sont a nouveau les memes qu'avant la guerre. Ceci a partir du mois de juillet 1945. Geo-Geo tu as des grandes chances de debarquer un beau matin dans les gratte-ciels de New York et d'illustrer de ta chere presence notre monotonie. Mais en attendant j'ai a retirer les dossiers pour soumettre de nouveaux paperasseries en regle a Washington, d'ailleurs par un tres prochain courrier tu en verra les copies, notamment des lettres que nous avons transmises, des affidavids etc. Mais des maintenant tu pourras de mettre en rapport avec le Consul a Marseille auqulla nous avons preparé une grande lettre qui partira des que nous aurons reunis les papiers on question. C.a.d. sous quelques jours. Ce changement dans le régime des visas euro donc causé un petit retard, mais le delai me semble bien raccourci et si les consuls ont la main d'ouevre necessaire cela ne devra pas prendre un nombre de mois tellegent elevé. Maintenant un mot concernant les pouvoirs, dont tu trouveras une partie ci-incluse. Je tiens a mettre en sa juste place une situation, qui par certaines circonstances, notamment les bavarages de Clemencé probablement, semble avoirque laue peu "glisse". En 1941, au moment de notre depart sous la conviction qu'aussi bien Jean-Paul que toi meme pourrent venir avec nous aux USA, et n'ayant pa ce fait personne pour s'occupper de mes, voire nos affaires et interets en France, j'ai cru bien faire en remettant a André Weillé, dont d'ailleurs 11 honnettete et capacité prouvee ne fait pas le moindre doute, un pouvoir general. J'etais tres loin de penser au'un jour ce fait compliquera nos démarches. En effet je me suis laisse dire que je ne peux faire un autre pouvoir aussi longtemps que ce premier ne soit revoqué. Je suis d'ailleurs pret de revoquer de pouvoir et remettre deux nouveaux pouvoirs a chacun de vous deux si tu le juges utile. En attendant je suggere que tu te mettes en rapport avec Andre, qui sans hesitation ni murmure, se fera certainment... un plaisir et un devoir de t'assister du mieux de mon pouvoir dans l'interet de la famille. A de nombreuses reprises, et en dernier lieu avec l'Argent qu'Albert lui avait confié. Andre a prouve qu'on peut absolument compter sur lui. Quant a nos meubles de la Rue Dulong 11 en prendra garde et soin certainment mieux que Robert Escudera l'aurait fait. En plus inclus procuration de Robert et Marthe ainsi que de tante. Inclus aussi act de deces de notre pauvre pere. Le tout en 4 exemplaires. S'il est indispensable que je to faire un autre pouvoir fais le moi savoir par retour ou par cable. Dans ce cas nous ferons probablement deux differents pouvoirs. Andre est deja en rapport avec le Mairie de Blanc Mesnil et la prefecture, concernant la requisition de mes futailles in 1929/40 par la mairie pour la defence passive. Il te donnera toute information a se sujet. Quant au Chantier et raccordament il n'a bien entendu rien a y faire, vu que cela apartient a l'heritage de notre pere.

Je suppose que tu as recu les deux lettres-rapports que j'ai envoyées de Paris. J'ai fait le maximum possible dans le temps qui m'étais imparti. Je prends maintenant la question de nos intérêts en Alsace et ailleurs sérieusement en main. Ci joint copie de deux lettres que je viens de pondre aujourd'hui même.L'une d'elle au secrétaire de la Mairie de Blanc Mesnil qui n'a pu se rendre au rendez vous que je lui avait fixé pourtant dans sa propre mairie,l'autre à un de mes copains de Faculté qui est devenu une huile du sequestre.J'étais assez bien avec lui autrefois et j'espère qu'il me sera utile. Je joins également une coupure du Journal Aurore de Paris (radical-socialiste) sur laquelle je me passe de tout commentaires. Vivement que je m'embarque pour New-York,je sais que ce ne sera pas une solution complète mais au moins partielle. Je suis dès mon retour accablé de besogne,je répondrai [d?]onc ulterieurement à la très charmante lettre de ta femme ainsi qu'à la lettre de Robert. Je suis extrêmement inquiet sur la maladie qu'a eu Robert et qui lui a fait perdre toutes ses dents.Qu'était-ce? A mon retour ici Trois colis m'attendaient en provenance des Etats Unis.Vraiment je suis touché de tant de gentillesse ils étaient de Marthe et de Denise.Merci de tout coeur. J'écrirai pour remercier dès que j'aurai un instant mais ce n'est pas une mince affaire que de remettre en marche un hebdomadaire. Je serais heureux de savoir quel est l'état des démarches faites à ce jour en vue de mon départ que j'espère aussi rapide que possible pour les U.AS.Il faudrait en effet que je puisse les synchroniser avec les démarches que j'aurais éventuellemnt à faire en France. Robert me parle dans sa lettre de m'envoyer un costume.je ne sais pas comment il pourrait le faire mais en tous cas ce serait une excellente idée et cela me serait d'une grand utilité.Je suis loin d 'être un arbiter elegantium et surtou j'use m[?] affaires avec une vutesse effarrante quoiqu' ayant appris à en prendre soin. Mon cher Albert,je tape ces quelques lignes à toute barde, Je serai plus long demain car je compte répondre à ta femme[?] et à Robert.Dis bien à tous les nôtres combien je les remercie pour leurs paquets et combien mes pensées sont constamment aupres d'eux comme auprès de toi; Je t'embrasse de tout coeur: [signature] Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Text Any textual data included in the document Monsieur GILLET secretaire de la Mairie de BLANC-MESNIL Seine et Oise 4 juin 1945 Monsieur, Je prends la liberte de m'adresser a vous car vous Stes la seule personne investie de fonctions publiques qui m'ait ete indiquee pour s'etre occupee du terrain et du chantier de futs que mon pere possedait au Bourget,a l' angle des rues de la Victoire et Aristide Briand,a cote de la fabrique de cartons bitumes"La Callendrite". C'est d'ailleurs Monsieur BOVE,directeur de cette fabrique,qui m'a conseille de m'adresser a vous. Mon pere, M. Arthur WOLFF,8 rue Wencker A Strasbourg etait proprietaire du terrain et des batiments,mon frere, M.Jaques WOLFF,ayant habite l,rue Dulong a Paris,dirigeait le chantier et etait proprietaire du fonds de commerce, Mon pere est decede en 1941 aux Etats-Unis ou se trouve mon frere depuis 1941 egalement;j'agis donc on qualite de co-heritier en meme temps que de mandataire de M. Jacques WOLFF et de mes autres freres,co-heritiers egalement; Au cours de la visite que j'ai faite sur les lieux j'ai pu constater qu'il n'existait plus rien des batiments et installations et que tous les futs avient ete enleves ainsi d'ailleurs que la cloture qui entourait le chantier J'ai constate agalement que des jardins potagers avaient ete plantes sur le terrain et qu'une tranchee provenant sans doute d'un abri anti-aerien y subsistait encore. Il est inutile, je pense, de vous dire que l'etendue du do[mm]age que nous subissons tant par la depredation du chantier que par la disparition du stock de merchandises qui s'y trouvaient [???] d'autant plus grand que nous avon deja ete depouilles de la totalite de nos biens situes en Alsace sans grand espoir de retour avant au moins un temps très long. Mandataire de mes frères, je me permets de vous poser les questions suivantes auxquelles je vous serais très obligé de me donner réponse: 1o) Le terrain et l'affaire en question ont-ils été au cours de l'occupation ennemie l'objet d'une mesure d'administration ou de vente de la part du Commissariat auz Questions juives? 2)D'aprè la rapide enquête à laquelle je me suis livré[s?] les futs qui se trouvaient sur le terrain auraient été enlevés par des personnes habitant la localité et d'autres aussi venues même en camion;de même les installations de soudure autogène,les pièces constitutives des bâtiments, les clôtures etc;,etc. Le préjudice ainsi subi peut il être considéré comme dommage de guerre,le propriétaire ou ses ayants-droits n'ayant pu en raison de la guerre et de ses conséquences être sur place pour empecher le pillage qui s'est produit? 3o) Au cas ou lepréjudice subi aurait,comme je le pense, le caractère de dommage de guerre,à quelle administration devré je le signaler ? 4o) Jugeriez vous opportun(c'est là un conseil que je vous demande) que je dépose entre les mains du Parquet de Seine et Oise une plainte contre inconnu pour vol et destructions volontaires? 5o)Je trouve très opportun et confome à la justice que la municipalité de Blanc Mesnil ait autorisé la création de jardins ouvriers sur le terrain en question,mais la création et l'utilisation de ces jardins ne done-t-elle pas au propriétaire du terrain,ou à ses ayant-droit[, d]roit à une ceraine redevance? Quoi qu'il ensoit,je dois formuler toutes réserves quant au sort de ces jardins au cas ou,sur l'ordre de mes frères, je serai appellé à vendre ou à louer le terrain. Je m'excuse,[M]onsieur,de m'adresser aussi longuement à vous sans avoir l'honneur de vous connaitre personnellement mais mes fonctions de secrétaire de la Rédaction du Journal de la Marine Marchande me retiennent en Ardèche et ma santé m'interdit malheureusement de longs séjours dans la capitale. De plus j'ai à coeur de m'occuper des intérêts de ma famille très cruellement éprouvée par la guerre comme tant de familles alsaciennes.J'attends aujourdh'ui encore des nouvelles d'un de me frères arrêté et déporté en Allemagne dés 1941. Dans ces conditions,je me permets de compter sur vos bons offices et je vous en remercie vivement à l'avance. En attendant le plaisr de vous lire par un prochain courrier,je vous pris de croire,Monsieur,à l'assurance de mes sentiments tré distingués.

Text Any textual data included in the document Monsieur LUX chef du sequestre des biens spoliés Direction des Domaines 56, allée de la Robertsau STRASBOURG ============= Bas-Rhin GW/EM le 4 juin 1945 Mon cher Lux, L'en-tête de ce papier à lettre ne te dira pas grand'chose et avant que tu ne coures à la signature je t'indiques que c'est ton camarade de Faculté Georges Wolff qui t'écrit. J'ai appris en effet par le plus grand des hasards que tu étais devenu une huile lourde des domaines en général et du sequestre en particulier. J'aime à croire que tu as passé, toi et les tiens, sans trop d'encombre les années tragiques de l'occupation ennemie de notre pays. Je sais par quel calvaire les Alsaciens fidèles dans leur coeur aux idéaux de la vraie civilisation ont passé. Moi même j'ai pu échapper à la Gestapo grâce à des ruses de Sioux et malgré les conditions que tu connais et que tu imagines, j'ai travaillé durement mais honnêtement pour gagner ma vie comme j'y étaus d'ailleurs contraint après les éévènements de juin 1940. Ma mère est morte dès après ces évènements et certainement à cause d'eux, mon père l'a suivie de six mois dans la tombe, un de mes frères, Jean-Paul, que tu as peut être connu au lycée Fustel de Coulanges et qui était médecin a été pris par les Allemands dès 1941 et déporté. Jusqu'à ce jour je ne sais rien d'autre de lui sinon qu'il a été au camp d'Auschwitz. Malgré la législation raciale j'ai pu accéder au poste de secrétaire de la Rédaction du Journal de la Marine marchande poste que j'occupe toujours encore à Largentière ou cette revue s'était repliée et que j'occuperai à Paris à partir du mois d'octobre. En raison de mes fonctions il m'est très difficile de m'absenter et je ne puis les résigner car, comme tout le monde, je suis obligé de gagner ma vie. Or il est temps que je commence à m'occuper un peu des affaires des miens laissées en Alsace au lendemain de l'évacuation de septembre 1939. Tu me rendrais donc un très grand service si tu me faisais connaitre si possible le sort des meubles qui garnissaient notre appartement situé au 8 de la rue Wencker à Strasbourg et dont le propriétaire était mon père, M. Arthur Wolff. Je me suis laissé dire que l'administration du sequestre éta était en mesure de fournir une liste des acquéreurs des meubles pris dans les appartements juifs. Même su cette liste était incomplète, elle me permettrait de récupérer peut être quelques souvenirs de famille et je te serais très obligé de me la faire tenir dès que possible. Il en est de même pour les meubles de ma tante, Mme Vve Henriette Cerf, 20, rue des Pontonniers (Esca) personne de près de 80 ans, actuellemnt aus Etats-Unis et dont mes frères et moi sommes la seule famille. Quant à notre terrain et chantier situé 12 rue Schertz à la Meinau, ils sont occupés par un nommé Loll René, fabriquant de limes. Je n'ai nullement l'intention de faire sortir ce monsieur des lieux et suis en voie d'arrangements amiable avec lui. Ni le terrain ne les installations ne lui ont été vendue il est locataire. Au lieu de verser les loyers au sequestre i il les versera à moi en tant que mandataire de mes frères. C'est extrêmement simple et je crois que ton administration serait très heureuse si toutes les affaires dont elle est saisie se résolvaient aussi rapidement. Mon cher Lux, je m'excuse de faire appel à ton amabilité avec autant de désinvolture mais je sais que tu ne m'en voudras pas et que je pourrais compter sur toi car, connaissant ta formation et tes convictions, je sais dans quel esprit tu travailles. Dès mon prochain passage à Strasbourg, au mois d'aout je pens je viendrai te voir et nous aurons certainement une longue et interessante conversation. En attendant, et avec mes remerciements anticipés, je te prie de croire, mon cher Lux, à mes sentiments amicaux et sincères.

Text Any textual data included in the document Thursday, November 30th, 1944 Dear Mister Albert: Your letter of the 21st of this month caused me a very great pleasure if it would not be the subject for which I am obligated to write you. Excuse me that I answer your letter with pencil, but air mail requires very light paper and this paper absorbs the ink. I also received a letter yesterdat from George where he is exposing for the tenth time his sorrow in telling you the word about this poor dear Jean Paul. It would require pages to relate to you his history, as well as the sad months during which I followed him from one prison to the other in helping him as best I could. First, let me tell you that your whole family knows me. I made the acquaintance of your Aunt Clemence since her arrival from Spain, as I was living at Rue de la Victoire and as she was originally of Alsace, and that I lived formerly in Strasbourg. We have, even there, common friends of your father - Albert Klein, Jules Levy, etc., as well as your distantly related attorney, Mr. Weiler. It is for this reason that Clemence and myself see each other very often. I know also your brother, Jack (form whom I have stored many things which belong to him). When in 1941 Clemence decided to return to Brive, where her some George was in military training, George decided to go back to the South Zone (non-occupied France) but Jean Paul, who tried to find other ways to go further, decided to remain in Paris. As I was able to board him, he came to live with me. He lived there quietly and calmly until the day he decided to spend several days with a girl friend of his in Strasbourg, "Nado Bing", whose location was Coutras Gironde. Did he try to find his way towards Bordeaux??? Well, he returned from his trip. We spent Christmas together as good friends, which we were. After that, he wanted to return and spend the New Year at Courtas for another three days. Three days, four days, finally fifteen days and he did not come back!!! I was anxious, but over a man whose was neither my son, nor my nephew, nor anythign else. I could not be angry with him. In the meantime I has lost the address of this young lady!!! When I found it again, I quickly wrote her. She answered me by mail (which was not easy to do) that she would not tell me by letter! That very evening I travelled straight to Courtas where she explained to me that during a walk the very afternoon that Jean Paul intended to come back to Paris, he was arrested on the road and questioned - and when she came to see what was going on, she was arrested too. Direction Libourne - they were in neighboring cells until the next day when he was taken to the Fort du Ha near Bordeaux. I went there immediately but was unable to see him as he was in solitary confinement. I returned to Paris, sick with Worry, expecially because I was quite aline to look after everything and also had to tell George the sad news!! In the month of March I received a letter from Jean Paul telling me that is at the prison of Cherche Mide - that he has been judged and condemned to 13 months in prison. I hastened to the Cherche Mide prison - impossible to see him!!! Waiting for his new address. But I can send him food packages at a time when there was nothing to get but fruits at 40 and 50 francs each. I succeeded in sending him underwear and clothing, etc. The poor went thru this perrible cold for three months without warm clothing. A new letter of Jean Paul (non-official) informed me that he was at Clairvous Central Prison Aube. I wrote to the Director who refused me the right to visit him. I received this lette ron Wednesday evening, but on Saturday morning I went to Clairvoux on the 5 o'clock train, vhaving spent the whole night in preparing food and my luggage. I arrived at Clairvous at 1:00 P.M., having changed trains at Bar sur Aube, and I hastened to the prison hoping to be able to return the very same day! But oh, deception! I remained standing on my feet until 5:30 in the evening in the waiting room of the prison, being unable to be received. In the meantime I made a game of scandal with the Director who was nice (chic) --- but his Assistant Director, an Alsatian, false brother of the Fifth (column), son-in-law of a baker of Mnelhouse, did not want to listen to me. At the end, thru a thousand roses, I was able to see Jean Paul at 6:30 P.S. --- judge his joy and emotion at this undue hour!!! But the half hour soon passed! After that, I had to go to the German military court to ask a permit to visit. I received a brutal cussing during my arrest of 4 or 5 hours for taking care of a Jew etc., but in spite of that I obtained an Ausweiss. I returned to Clairvous the next month - even not waiting so long. I believe - and there with the complicity of the guards, several of whom were Alsatians, and afterwards witht he others, the Chaplain, the owner of the only hotel which is there, I could do my best to make his life a bit softer. He was no longer with the common criminals but male nurse at the hospital, and expecting the job of Doctor. I saw him each month; I wrote him three or four letters each week, non-official ones, of course, because the official ones never reached him. The personnel was French (the Germans only came to Clairvous to execute or to check up or verify the weight of the food packages). Taken as a whole, everything went very well if one can say so. When in September there was a sabotage bombing at the Cinema Rex on the Grande Boulevard, reserved exclusively for the Germans, (which lead us to believe that they executed this act themselves) then, as a reprisal a German came to choose hostages at Clairvoux and other places. He selected from Clairvoux 20 unfortunate Jews detained there among 3000 inmates. That was the 21st of September. They were embarked at midnight. I was informed of it the 22nd from Clairvoux by phone - then I received word from Jean Paul written on the train, telling me is his departure from Clairvoux for unknown destination. A second letter direction Dranoy and a third one confirming the second, and since then no further word for the following reasons. Departed from Clairvoux the 21st, arrived Dranoy the 22nd, departed from Dranoy the 23rd. Since then nothing any more. I wrote everywhere, went to spend nights at the Bourget, questioned at this time guardians, gendarmes, etc. etc. who guarded the trains until their arrival in Metz. Since the liberation I have already made four demands to the organizations of official research. There is nothing left, my dear Albert, but to hope. Jean Paul was strong and of extraordinary character. I I will show your letter and the shole correspondence I have already shown to George during my clandestine trips to Toulouse and other places, having taken care of many other Israelite friends, too. So Jean Paul, well nourished during the summer, and extremely courageous, and considering his profession of doctor, has perhaps been detained in a camp somewhere. This we must hope firmly until the end of this terrible nightmare. Transmit to your brothers the hope which we conserve, and eith God's help this hope will be realised one day. I hoped to see you with the coming of the American troops but I see that you went to French West Africa. A letter from George informs me that his return is delayed until spring. I regret this very much. Nelly came to see me for a weekend and returned this week. I have to see Attorney Weiler next Sunday. I was helping, too, Jules Levy of Montagne, a friend of your father, who was held for one year, but as husband of Aryan, has not been deported. At his release he spent eight weeks in my house before returning to Cannes, and he will stay there until he is able to join his natal Strasbourg which unfortunately is liberated now. So you see, my dear, that the ties which are uniting me to you are sacred and I hope ardently that nothing can break this friendship. When will you be able to talk more about everything and of all, and I repeat let us hope with all our hearts for the return of Jean Paul, as nothing did assure you of the worst. I will inform George that I informed you of everything and that will sure relief him a little bit, as he carried his cross for such a long time. Affectionately, and looking forward to the pleasure of seeing you. I embrace you.

Title A name given to the resource The Holocaust and the Ohio Valley, 1920, 1933-1990s Description An account of the resource This collection consists of documents and photographs related to Jewish experiences in the Holocaust and World War II, Jewish American efforts to support refugees, and historical memory of the Holocaust in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. This digitization project is in partnership with the Louisville Ballet's <em><a href="https://www.louisvilleballet.org/a-time-remembered/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">A Time Remembered</a> </em>performance, which marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. <div><br />Holocaust-era family documents center on the Wolff, Levy, and Ackermann families who escaped to the United States from France and Austria, and ultimately settled in Louisville. Passports provide photographs of the family members and track their movements through countries. Letters document their efforts to navigate the administrative barriers to passage, and the tragic fate of relatives who were not approved to leave.<br /><br />Records from the National Council of Jewish Women, Louisville Section document the organization's activist work in fundraising for and directly serving refugees in the city, and political organizing around national immigration policies and economic boycotts of German-made goods. The collection includes sample correspondence from national organizations and individuals who supported and were against Zionism in response to the violent antisemitism of the Holocaust. <br /><br />The final items in the collection document Holocaust memorial events in the 1990s. Invitations, photographs, scripts, press releases, and articles represent the memorialization work of the Jewish Community Center, Jewish Community Federation of Louisville, <span>Louisville Ballet, Louisville Orchestra, and other  organizations.</span></div> <br />This project was generously supported by the Jewish Heritage Fund.<br /><br /><a href="https://jewishheritagefund.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><img src="https://jewishheritagefund.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/jhfe-logo-leftaligned-color@2x.png" alt="jhfe-logo-leftaligned-color@2x.png" width="306" height="58" /></a> Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived The Filson Historical Society, Louisville, Kentucky Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1920, 1933-1990s Type The nature or genre of the resource Collection Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant 20th century Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
