United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Collection, Gift of Isaac Berneman
The collection was donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2006 by Isaac Berneman.
Scope and Content
The Isaac Berneman collection consists of an identification card and a residence cards issued to Isaac’s father, Dawid (David) Berneman (b. Kozienice, Poland, 1913-1980), and his mother, Cecylia Berneman (b. Rajcza or Zywiec, Poland 1923-1981). The documents were issued in displaced person camps in Austria following the Holocaust and indicate that David was a Polish Jew living in New Palestine DP Camp and that Cecylia was a slave laborer in Gabersdorf, the Czech Republic. Isaac was born in Salzburg in 1947, the family immigrated to the United States in 1951, and Isaac’s brother and sister were born in St. Louis in 1951 and 1953.
