Acquisition

Jiří and Irma Lauscher and Michaela Vidláková donated the Jiří Lauscher collection to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 1989.

Scope and Content

The Jiří Lauscher collection consist of reports, albums, artwork, writings, photocopies, photographs, copyprints, and diary entries documenting the Jüdische Kultusgemeinde's work related to emigration and job training in Prague; the administration, history, and culture of Theresienstadt; and Holocaust-era ghettos and concentration camps. The collection also includes a Star of David badge and postage stamps. Lauscher collected the materials during his internment in Theresienstadt from 1942-1945 and acquired many of them from friends and acquaintances as they were deported to killing centers.
