Kurt Bauchwitz papers, 1890-2006.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/86132112

Emphasis on the legal career of Bates. The materials document his early years in Germany (1890-1938), the years of flight from Hitler's Germany via Japan to the United States (1938-1941), and his U.S. years (1941-1974). The biographical materials contain many early documents, including school and university diplomas, birth and marriage certificates, German military record, and documents pertaining to Bauchwitz=s dismissal from his legal position by the Hitler regime. The correspondence consists of nearly 5,000 letters and the manuscripts and typescripts have been divided between poetry and prose. The poetry section, dating from ca. 1926, is primarily written in German, with the exception of his later epigrammatic verse collections Ego and Echo and Monogrips, which are in English. The prose sub-series includes short prose pieces (the majority written in English) and his loosely autobiographical collections of daily observations, which span nearly three decades, 1950-1966, which he entitled Pebbles (later Question Marks).
