Donated to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in 2019 by Alice Schubach, daughter-in-law of Pauline and Gustav Schubach, wife of their son Robert Schubach.
Scope and Content
Documents, passport, correspondence, and photographs illustrating the emigration of Pauline Schubach [nee Pfeiffer], her husband, Gustav, and their children, Robert and Inge, in 1939. These materials also document their sponsorship by William Stein, Pauline’s maternal uncle, and Pauline’s efforts to try and obtain visas for her parents, Bernhard and Lina, in Rudesheim, Germany. Her parents were in Rudesheim until Bernhard’s death in 1941, and Lina’s movement to the Jewish old age home in Frankfurt. [Lina was deported to Theresienstadt ghetto-labor camp on May 15, 1942, and then to Auschwitz-Birkenau killing center on August 18, 1944]. Also included are Lina’s passport and documents of Pauline’s unsuccessful efforts to get Lina to the USA.
