Author Description

Correspondence between Heinrich and Selma Wolff from Mainz, Germany, with their adult children Herbert Wolff (1914-2003) and Helmut Wolff (1915-1998), who immigrated to the United States in 1938 and 1937 respectively. The letters offer insights into the experience of persecution in Mainz during the period of National Socialism. In 1942 both Heinrich and Selma Wolff were deported to Ghetto Piaski where they were murdered.
