Acquisition

Scope and Content

Consists of pre-war, wartime, and post-war documents, identity cards, and photographs related to the Holocaust experiences of Otto Katz, born in 1905 in Budranów, Poland. Though his family was able to emigrate, Mr. Katz, who spent much of his pre-war life in Vienna, was arrested in 1939 and sent to Buchenwald where he remained until liberation in 1945. Includes pre-war diplomas for Mr. Katz, who was a jeweler and silversmith, documentation identifying Mr. Katz as a survivor of Buchenwald, and photographs, including a photograph of Mr. Katz in Buchenwald.
