Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

Title: Guide to the Daily Worker and Daily World Photographs Collection, 1920-2001

The official organ of the Communist Party, USA, the Daily Worker's editorial positions reflected the policies of the Communist Party. At the same time the paper also attempted to speak to the broad left-wing community in the United States that included labor, civil rights, and peace activists, with stories covering a wide range of events, organizations and individuals in the United States and around the world. As a daily newspaper, it covered the major stories of the twentieth century. However, the paper always placed an emphasis on radical social movements, social and economic conditions particularly in working class and minority communities, poverty, labor struggles, racial discrimination, right wing extremism with an emphasis on fascist and Nazi movements, and of course the Soviet Union and the world-wide Communist movement. The paper has had a succession of names and has been published in varying frequences between daily to weekly over the course of its existence. In 2010 it ceased print publication and became an electronic, online-only, weekly publication titled the People's World. The bulk of the collection consists of printed photographic images produced through a variety of processes, collected by the photography editors of the Daily Worker and its successor newspapers as a means of maintaining an organized collection of images for use in publication. Images of many important people, groups and events associated with the CPUSA and the American Left are present in the collection, as well as images of a wide variety of people, subjects and events not explicitly linked with the CPUSA or Left politics.

The collection consists of two scrapbooks containing newspaper and magazine articles and pictures dealing with sports during the first half of the twentieth century.

The scrapbook created by Thomas F. Moloney contains clippings from 1915-1940 of college and high school football, minor league baseball such as the Newark Bears, Ironbound league, professional baseball and boxing. It includes a focus on sports figures, in particular Italian-American sports figures, on both the national and the local levels.

The archive is a collection of correspondence, personal and business papers, photographs, and other materials which document some of the most significant aspects of twentieth-century music.

Material in the collection dates from Koussevitzky's years in his native Russia. The bulk of the collection dates from 1924 to 1951; it also contains material created after Koussevitzky's death, reflecting his widow's continuing work with various organizations and projects.

Weinrib, Louisa,. Holocaust survivors and U. S. liberators oral history collection. 1910-1994.

Title: Holocaust survivors and U. S. liberators oral history collection. 1910-1994.

These fourteen interviews were recorded on twenty-four cassette tapes, and Mrs. Weinrib transcribed all except for Alice Franks' interview. She took a photograph of each of her interviewees, and some loaned her photographs of themselves and family members for her to reproduce. Some also allowed her to photocopy booklets, programs, drawings, memoirs, and other materials they had related to the Holocaust. The collection is divided into two subgroups, liberators and survivors. The liberators subgroup consists of the interviews and papers of five World War II veterans: Harvey Cohen, George Harper, Robert Lieberman, Herman "Dick" Loeb, and Marcus "Bubba" Marks. Included with Harvey Cohen's transcript are photocopies of the program for a Holocaust memorial service in Rhode Island; his memoir "Whiskey Blue Love, L Company, 5th Infantry Regiment in World War II" (1945, additions 1985); a booklet entitled "A Corner of Hell: The Liberation of Gunskirchen Lager by the Seventy-First Infantry Division, U. S. Army, May 4, 1945" (1990); and another booklet, "The Seventy-First Came...to Gunskirchen Lager" (1945). Dick Loeb was a lieutenant in charge of an African American unit attached to the 82nd Airborne Division. He submitted copies of wartime photographs, including a photo of the African American soldiers in his unit, one of whom was boxing champ, Joe Louis. Robert Lieberman was in the 104th Infantry Division. George Harper was in the 15th Corps of Engineers. Marcus Marks was in the 3119th Signal Corps. The survivors subgroup consists of the interviews and papers of nine Holocaust survivors or relatives of survivors. The parents of Hanna Berger of Selma, Ala., were German Jews who left Nazi Germany for the United States in early 1938. They first lived in New York before moving to Selma around 1939. Copies of their German passports from 1938 are included. Sonja Adelberg Bromberg and her sister were placed in a Catholic nunnery by their father who then went into hiding from the Nazis. She and her sister were smuggled out of Germany and reached Ellis Island in 1940. They were reunited with their father after the war. Pauline Merenstein Davidson grew up in Poland and spent the early part of the war running from the Nazis. She witnessed many atrocities and was severely beaten by a Nazi soldier before she escaped into Russia. She immigrated to the U. S. with her husband in 1951. Susan, a Hungarian Jewish woman who was living in Montgomery by 1990, agreed to share her story with Louisa Wienrib on the condition that her married name be kept anonymous. She was imprisoned in Dachau from October 1944 until the end of the war. In addition to her interview, she also submitted a copy of her friend Ferry's memoir of Dachau in Hungarian with an English translation (possibly incomplete). Edith Goetz Sanders and her parents left Nazi Germany in 1937 for Milan, Italy and then left Italy for Honduras in 1939, where they spent the remainder of the war. In Honduras she met her future husband, Ernest Sanders (also interviewed), whose family immigrated there from Germany that same year. They married and later moved to the U. S. in 1948. Eliakim Stencel grew up in Rypin, Poland. Not long after Germany invaded Poland, his family escaped to Russia and spent most of the war in Uzbekistan. After the war, they went to Austria where they stayed in a refugee camp for four years. Mr. Stencel was sponsored by the Jewish Federation to come to Montgomery. Charles Wampold was born and raised in Montgomery, but his mother's parents lived in Nazi Germany until 1939. Mr. Wampold tells of visiting Germany in 1935 and again in the 1980s. He submitted a photocopy of a 1963 booklet entitled, "Die Geschichte der Judischen Gemeinde in Talheim" (The Story of the Jewish Congregation in Talheim), which recounted the history of the Talheim Jews from the Middle Ages through the Holocaust.
