Peter Zvi Fuchs-Zinner papers

The papers consist of documents, postcards, scrip from Auschwitz concentration camp, and family photographs relating to the experiences of Peter (Zvi) Zinner and his extended Zinner and Braun family members from Yugoslavia (later Bosnia and Herzegovina) before and during the Holocaust. The photographs include two original photos of the Braun family and selected photographs of Peter (Zvi) with his mother, nanny, and friends. Also included are two photos of his cousin, with whom he was hidden in a bunker, and photo of his parents. Peter’s father did not survive. There are five postcards from Desider Zinner, who was held in a forced labor camp, to Alicia Zinnerova in 1941. An additional postcard is addressed to Ollie Braun. Among the documents are legitimacija (identification) cards for Alicia and Desider Zinner and a prewar book of Jewish burial records for a relative. The scrip from Auschwitz, valued at one Reichsmark, belonged to Pishta Braun, Peter’s maternal uncle.
