Donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2018 by Alice Blaine Jaffe, whose grandmother was a cousin of Anna Miller.

Scope and Content

Includes a letter dated August 1940, from Gertrude Krumpl (friend of Isa Feri) to Anna Miller asking for affidavit “in place of the one for the wife of Mr. Kasnievsky, who meanwhile passed away.” Includes envelopes and translations.
