"The Years Which the Locust Hath Eaten" is a bound typescript, with a brief handwritten addendum. The narrative covers approximately the period from 1936 to 1940, and describes the events and thoughts leading to the Kretzmer family's decision to leave Nazi Germany, their stay in England, and their arrival in the United States. The volume includes two postcards and 13 photographs, most of buildings and landscapes in places that the Kretzmers visited or in which they stayed. The remainder of the collection is unprocessed.
