Ernst Hamburger Collection 1913-1980

http://findingaids.cjh.org/?pID=481968

The life of Ernst Hamburger was extraordinarily rich and varied; regrettably, his literary estate does notcompletely document it. In his flight from Nazi Germany, Hamburger had to leave all his papers behind. With a few exceptions, the same was thecase in 1940. It appears he made it a practice to periodically weed his papers. At his request, a friend went through his papers after hisdeath and destroyed two cartons full of personal and confidential material. Consequently, the remaining matter is only a fragment of a muchlarger life’s work.
