Acquisition
In 2001, an exhibition in Paris displayed magazines written by children in the Theresienstadt (Terezin) ghetto, and included "Hlas Pudy Q306," which is owned by the Jewish Museum in Prague, Czech Republic. A pamphlet from this exhibition was sent to Vera Kornova-Bondy, older sister of Mariana Kornova, the editor-in-chief of "Hlas Pudy Q306." Mrs. Kornova-Bondy had previously not known about the existence of her sister's magazine and obtained copies from the Jewish Museum in Prague. She and her grandson, Adrian, completed translations of the magazines into English and donated copies to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Archives on Jan. 16, 2004.
Scope and Content
