Collection Overview
Scope and Contents of the Materials
This record group is comprised of 31 documents, mostly photographs, which are only available digitally, as the items were temporarily loaned to the museum by Holocaust survivor Betty Cohen. They are mostly photographs, some letters and drawings that are personally significant to the story of Betty Cohen and her family. They include love letters from her future husband, photos of her deceased relatives, drawings made by her brother while in hiding and pictures from her post-war life.
Collection Historical Note
Three generations of Betty Cohen’s family lived near Amsterdam in the Netherlands in a predominantly Jewish area. The Nazi’s invaded Holland in 1940 and the state fell in 5 days. Cohen and her relatives were forced into hiding before being discovered and deported. These mementos are all that remains of several members of her family.
