Edith Schoenberger Kaufman papers, 1870-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/757735137

The collection consists of family papers, photographs, and photo albums/scrapbooks. Family papers range from personal documents and correspondence to materials relating to Holocaust restitution. There are also papers relating to Edith Schoenberger Kaufman's work with Hadassah. Files on Eugen Schoenberger's company, Schoenberger Cabinet, are particularly rich both with information about the Nazi seizure of a Jewish company and with ephemera and materials documenting the company's products. The collection includes a large number of photo albums and scrapbooks documenting Edith Schoenberger Kaufman's family, travels, and philanthropic work. Particularly noteworthy are the early travel photo albums from the 1930s, the family photo album (circa 1870-1951), which documents the World War II era emigration of Edith's extended Jewish family from Germany, and the scrapbooks and photo albums documenting Eugen Schoenberger's life and his company.
