Extent and Medium

5.4 linear feet (5 card file boxes, 10 Hollinger boxes)

Scope and Content

Consists of photos of families, adults, and child survivors. This subseries is further sub-divided, primarily by subject matter, according to categories established by the WJC archives. Photographs in this series are primarily unlabeled and portray persons, functions, places, and events associated with or of interest to the WJC. Contains mostly photographic prints, but also includes negatives, microfilm, mats for newsphotos, and related documents. The microfilms (located at J15/14) duplicate documents dealing with the Holocaust in Bulgaria and Budapest. A few photographs are related to material located elsewhere in the collection.

System of Arrangement

The subseries is divided into fifteen (15) sub-subseries: a. Protection Photos; b. Families and Adults; c. Child Survivors DL no names; d. Child Survivors -Alphabetical; e. Children-Italy; f. Correspondence and Reports; g. Atrocities and Desecration; h. Buildings; i. Ceremonial Occasions; j. Conferences; k. Children's and Nursing Homes; l. Demonstrations; m. General; n. Personalities; o. War Criminals.

Existence and Location of Copies

Several photographs from this subseries were used by the United Stated Holocaust Memorial Museum's online project, Remember Me.
