Scope and Content

Consists of one memoir, 57 pages, entitled "Stefan Sebastian Lazarus Salomon Frank," written by Stefan Frank, who was born in Regensburg, Germany and raised in Regenstauf. In the memoir, he describes his childhood in the 1920s and early 1930s, his early education, and the family's decision to move to Schweinfurt when Stefan and his brother, Michael, were about to enter secondary school. Mr. Frank describes antisemitic persecution in Schweinfurt in the 1930s; Michael was sent to Palestine in 1936 while Stefan, still a young teenager, began to work as an apprentice cook as career training with an eye toward emigration. He emigrated to the United States in 1937 and attended vocational school in New York. In 1940, his parents, Julius and Rosl Frank, also emigrated to the United States. In 1940, Stefan was drafted into the United States Army and served in Italy. Photographs are included within the memoir.
