- Manuscript, nine pages in length, account of events by Marianne Bolgar. The manuscript starts with the arrival of the German army in Budapest on 14 March 1944. Narrative: Marianne Bolgar was born on 27 November 1929. In her account of the war, Marianne Bolgar remembers when the Germans arrived in Budapest on 1944-3-19. She lived with her family on Peterdy street and, later that year; they were forced to move across the street into single building with the other Jewish families. It was marked by a yellow star, a 'mini-ghetto, and they were allowed to leave for only two hours a day to buy food. The teenagers of the house would often sneak to the roof during air raids. August 15 1944 saw the destruction of the ghetto in an air raid. The nearest shelter was the Krebs' basement; at the end of the raid "Uncle' Krebs warned Marianne's father not to leave with the rest of the Jews. They remained in Uncle Krebs' store basement at 56b Hernad Street. Through hiding they were able to escape the government’s calls for Jewish men and women, between 16 and 50. In November, Uncle Krebs and Dr. Meister warned them to get out, as death was now the punishment for harboring Jews. They refused to leave and were allowed to remain. The hope was that the Russians would arrive and liberate them soon. Later that year the Allied bombing destroyed electricity and water in the city, and her family was forced to use a can of oil and string for light and jars of water they had collected from a dripping tap. In December they heard from the conversations upstairs that their hiding place had been hit by a bomb which did not explode. 23 December 1944 saw the Russians advancing towards Budapest, and the increased presence of Germans and Panzer Platoons in the city. Her father, who was a loud snorer, had to sleep during the day when moving tanks would mask the sound. A few days later they were freed by a Russian soldier. Marianne remarks that their old neighbors, who had neither harmed nor helped them, seemed to wish them to hell for returning. She decided to leave Hungary as soon as she could.

Narrative: The Serpa Pinto was a Portuguese transport ship, which sailed under the command of Captain Americo Dos Santos. With a capacity of 600 people, the ship made regular trips from Lisbon, Portugal to Rio de Janeiro, New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore. It has been said that the ship transported about 7800 refugees, among them hundreds of Jews during World War II. Alice Eckstein was the donor's mother. Due to Sam Shenkier's wealth, which was amassed through the Diamond Exchange in Belgium, his family was spared. He could afford to get them out of Europe and away from the Nazis. Sam Shenkier was the donor's father.

- 1 page, single-sided. Folded once horizontally. Document printed on letterhead of Association of Survivors of Nazi Oppression. Letter written from Aba Beer to the Principal of Eckville High School, stating that the organization does not feel that the truth about the facts of the Holocaust has not emerged in the aftermath of the pedagogical practices of teacher James Keegstra. An offer is made for survivors to travel to Eckville and meet with students and faculty members,. Narrative: James Keegstra was a high school teacher and the mayor of Eckville, Alberta when he was accused of teaching students that the Holocaust had never happened, along with other anti-Semitic propaganda. He was charged and convicted of hate speech in 1984, a conviction which was overturned upon appeal, but reinstated by the Supreme Court of Canada. The Association of Survivors of Nazi Oppression, formerly the Association of Former Concentration Camp Inmates, Survivors of Nazi Oppression, was founded circa 1960 in Montreal. Many of its members were founding members of the Montreal Holocaust Memorial Centre.

In 1940, immediately before Germany occupied Belgium, all German males born before 1924 were ordered to register. Manfred and Werner were sent to France, where they were interned. On their way to France to join them, Gustave and his mother were arrested and sent to England on the last boat to leave Belgium before it was occupied.
