Scope and Content

Consists of materials related to the Holocaust experiences of André Scheinmann. Born Joseph Scheinmann in 1915, André hid his Jewish identity and worked in the French Resistance and for Great Britain as a spy in France. He was arrested as a Nacht und Nebel ("Night and Fog") political prisoner and was interned at the Natzweiler-Strutthof concentration camp as a kapo, and later in the Dachau concentration camp. Includes "Call Me André," a memoir by André Scheinmann, co-authored by Diana Mara Henry, and several articles Henry wrote about Scheinmann's experiences.
