Scope and Content

Documents, photographs and correspondence illustrating the experiences of Rabbi Boril Herschkovics who immigrated to the United States in the late 1920s ahead of his immediate family. Documents include recommendations of employment for Boril as well as later efforts in 1941, of his daughter Alice, already in the United States, to bring over her sister and mother Edith and Rose, who eventually joined Alice and Violet (who arrived in 1939) and Boril in the United States. Also includes the oral testimony of Iby Mainzer and Martin Mainzer.
