Scope and Content
Consists of family photographs, correspondence, official documentation, programs, and articles related to Dr. Nathan and Mrs. Frieda Rosenstein Ehrenreich and their son, Helmut (Henry) Ehrenreich, originally of Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Nathan was a composer and the musical director of a prestigious Jewish choir in Frankfurt and one of the founders of the Jewish Kulturbund before the family's 1939 emigration to the United States. After arriving in the United States, Dr. Ehrenreich continued his career in music in Buffalo, NY. The collection includes documents related to the education of each of the family members, pre-war and post-war musical programs, original compositions, correspondence and speeches regarding Jewish music, and the family's correspondence and identity paperwork for their emigration.
