Archival History

Acquisition

Forms part of the Claims Conference International Holocaust Documentation Archive at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. This archive consists of documentation whose reproduction and/or acquisition was made possible with funding from the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany.

From the Żydowski Instytut Historyczny im. Emanuela Ringelbluma (ŻIH), Sygn. 368. The collection was donated to ŻIH by Maria Krawczyk, a daughter of Juliusz Feldhorn, in 1991. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives received the collection from ŻIH via the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum International Programs Division in Dec. 2012.

Scope and Content

The first series contains literary works, mainly by Juliusz Feldhorn, the poetry of Stella Landy and memoirs of Maria Krawczyk which contains information about the family’s fate, and photographs. The second series, which is the largest, contains personal documents of the Feldhorn family’s members: Mojżesz, Michał, Juliusz, Stella, Maria and Cecylia, as well as Maria Krawczyk, Marcel Schauer, and Maurycy Herman. The third series contains correspondence of various kind, mainly photocopies, and handwritten copies. The fourth series includes miscellaneous records, including several originals, with the only memento of Rudolf Feldhorn: his notes from his math exercises and a unique agenda of 1939 which belonged to Mojżesz Michał Fedlhorn, with some notes about the fate of the family during September-November 1939.
