Lot 755
The Joseph Oppenheimer Correspondence, 1937-47. A fascinating Oppenheimer Family archive of many dozens of covers, forms, and documents, principally addressed to Mr. Oppenheimer or his wife in Yenne, France, documentng his successful avoidance of transport to the "final" destination during the Holocaust, and including 19 cards from a friend interned at the SOSNOWITZ camp (in occupied Poland). Included are forms and documents from various Jewish relief groups (post war), covers from international agencies or diplomatic origins, and a Third Reich certificate honoring Joseph Oppenheimer as a World War I veteran of the German Army, for which he received an Iron Cross (Ehrenkreuz für Frontkãmpfer) in 1935, given, ironically, in the name of the Führer and the Reichs Chancellor. Condition varies. Should be seen.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
Ex Rosedale Collection.
