- Scope and Content
- Series consists of correspondence, photographs, and related documents from Holocaust survivors from Ostrowiec, Poland, and other various individuals living in North and South America, Europe, and Palestine. The letters were primarily sent to Max Hartstone in his capacity as secretary for the United Ostrowtzer Hilfs Committee and included requests for financial and material aid, assistance with immigration, and requests to locate friends and family. Materials were created between 1940 and 1952, with the majority being produced between 1946 and 1947. They document the immediate postwar experiences of survivors from Ostrowiec and the ongoing challenges they faced in the aftermath of the Holocaust.
