The American Heritage Center is the repository of the University of Wyoming’s
manuscript and special collections. The Center holds over 90,000 cubic feet of
archives and manuscripts, among them, the papers of Herbert G. Luft (204 boxes)
and interviews on audio cassette, a journalist and movie producer who escaped
from Germany with his wife after a six-month internment at Dachau. Luft served
as assistant film editor for Samuel Goldwyn Studios from 1944-1948 before
working as a journalist for the Jewish Telegraphic Agency and covering the trial
of Nazi Adolph Eichmann from 1960-1961 in Israel. This collection includes
radio scripts from Luft and his wife Paula’s work for the U.S. Office of War
Information writing and broadcasting allied propaganda to Nazi Germany, as well
as transcripts (in German) of the pre-trial examination of Adolf Eichmann. A
finding aid for the collection is available through the online catalogue.
