Scope and Content

Consists of one memoir, 13 pages, entitled "Krulik's Story," by Israel (Krulik) Wilder.

Israel Wilder got a job working forced labor at the Hortensia glass factory, where he worked until November 1944. He was deported to a series of camps, ending at Buchenwald concentration camp in December 1944, where he remained until the final weeks of the war, when he was sent to Theresienstadt, from which he was liberated.
