Elie and Stella Reich Tennenbaum papers, 1920-1984.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/681767085

The collection includes Elie and Stella Tennenbaum's personal and professional documents, correspondence, ephemera, and photographs. The personal documents in the collection, as well as the correspondence from Europe, China and the United States, reveal the transient life of Jewish refugees during World War II and document the sometimes desperate attempts at movement and migration. The professional documents provide a detailed picture of Elie Tennenbaum's attempts to complete his medical education in France and Shanghai and to find work in the United States. Most of the correspondence in the collection is dated in the 1940s, but some is from the 1930s. The collection includes a medical school diploma issued by Aurora University in Shanghai to Stella Reich(ova) in 1946. In addition, the collection includes some ephemera relating to the Jewish refugee community in Shanghai.
